John Deere Foundation donates $1 million to the U.S. World Food Program

Posted on May 20, 2022August 18, 2022 by John Deere News

The grant will provide emergency food assistance and fund high-impact innovations to end hunger.

On May 18, 2022, the John Deere Foundation announced a $1 million donation to the U.S. World Food Program to combat global food insecurity and address the staggering increase in acute hunger exacerbated by the crisis in Ukraine .

Half of the grant will support the global humanitarian efforts of the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) and the other half will go to the organization’s Innovation Accelerator, which seeks, supports and scales high-impact innovations to end hunger.

“At John Deere, we are committed to helping feed the world and to understanding the important role of innovative technologies and business models in achieving that goal,” said John S. May , chairman and CEO of Deere & Company and chairman of the John Deere Foundation. . “This investment in the World Food Program and its Innovation Accelerator promises to help end hunger today and in the future.”

“We are grateful to the John Deere Foundation for their generous support at a time when the world faces a hunger disaster of unprecedented proportions,” said Barron Segar , president and CEO of the World Food Program USA . “Private sector partners are vital in helping us feed families in need today and advance innovations that can save lives in the future.”

This award builds on recent grants from the John Deere Foundation for the U.S. World Food Program , including a $250,000 gift earlier in 2022 to support humanitarian assistance in Ukraine and the surrounding region, and a $500,000 investment in 2021 to support the WFP Innovation Accelerator.

John Deere employees also supported WFP through the crowdfunding app ShareTheMeal. With the support of the John Deere Foundation’s employee donation programs, John Deere employees have helped donate more than 88,600 meals to fight hunger worldwide in 2022.
