Philanthropy and Social Contributions


Foundation: Exxon Mobil Corporation, ExxonMobil Foundation

The ExxonMobil Foundation has donated $158 million to fight malaria, promoting education, and supporting women's economic empowerment in more than 90 countries over the last decade, the oil and gas company announced Thursday.

The largest donation in the foundation's history was made in 2005, when it gave $128 million to fight the disease, which kills more than a million people a year, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa, the BBC reports.

Since then, more than 175 million people have received antimalarial treatments and 15.1 million bed nets have been distributed.

"Through a coordinated, comprehensive effort, significant progress has been made over the past two decades in reducing the impacts of malaria on families and communities," ExxonMobil said in a statement.

"We are proud to have been a part of this effort."
