Mondelez foundation renews partnership for humanitarian aid

DEERFIELD - The Mondelez International Foundation renewed a two-year, $2 million pledge to help global disaster relief organizations deliver humanitarian aid more quickly.

The Foundation works with two partners, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and the American Red Cross, to respond to both international and domestic natural disasters. The IFRC represents 190 member National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, including the American Red Cross, empowered by a network of 17 million volunteers worldwide.

"Support from the Mondelez International Foundation has helped communities affected by disasters around the globe restore their well-being," said Sarah Delea, president of the Mondelez International Foundation and Senior Director of Global Well-being and Community Involvement. "We're proud of our long-standing partnership with IFRC and American Red Cross. This pledge deepens our commitment to protecting the well-being of people and the planet by enabling our partners to help people and communities before, during and after a disaster."

By supporting the IFRC's Disaster Relief Emergency Fund and participating in the American Red Cross' Annual Disaster Giving Program (ADGP), the Mondelez International Foundation is helping provide a reliable, pre-funded base of financial support for immediate response when disaster strikes.

Over the last 25 years, Mondelez has contributed more than $1.8 billion in cash and food to charitable organizations around the world. In addition, as part of a multiyear, $50 million commitment, the Mondelez International Foundation works with global NGO partners to empower communities to embrace active and healthier lifestyles across 13 markets around the world.
