A Message From Our Chair
I am pleased to present the Lundin Foundation’s 2019 Annual Report – the Power of the Community.
Throughout 2019, the Foundation’s strategic programming created long-lasting and scalable economic benefits for the communities in which our companies operate. We provided $5.6M USD of funding and assistance to 700 small businesses that generated more than $55M USD in revenue and supported 2,700 jobs.
Looking ahead at 2020, I am struck by the scale of the social and economic devastation of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Foundation has refocused its programming to support corporate and community partners in responding to the evolving crisis. Our commitment to unlocking economic resilience in local communities is more important than ever as we look ahead at a path to recovery.
