Each year, Eaton donates nearly USD $9M to organizations in Eaton communities around the world. These donations support arts and culture, community and economic development, education, environment, health and human service programs and more.

The Lincoln site supports this initiative through our local Community Support Committee which awards monies to deserving organizations in the community at a local level. In 2022 we donated over $22,000 to local organizations in the area.

Once a year, applications are taken for larger grants that are awarded from our Corporate Contributions Committee. This year we were given $120,000 for deserving organizations in our community through this process.
