Chevron Texaco Corporation

Partnerships between ChevronTexaco and the local communities in which it operates are based on more than philanthropy. Only where both the business and the community make progress through mutual understanding and respect can either side hope to succeed.

For whom: It listen to the needs of the local community first and then engage in mutually beneficial partnerships where together they can become a greater force for positive community change. Field of study: This includes employment and training opportunities as well as the improvement of local facilities and care for the environment. Community involvement, always geared to local needs, has taken many different forms. For example: In Venezuela, we built 10 schools where 4,500 students are now receiving a higher quality education. In Angola, where many children have been displaced and orphaned by civil war, we support a center for the homeless that educates and trains young women for entry into the work force. Other important information: At this time, ChevronTexaco is not accepting grant proposals. The company will honor all existing commitments to community partnership programs and grants made by Chevron, Texaco and Caltex. Currently, we are developing grant guidelines that will reflect the new company's program focus.
