Kennametal Foundation
There are many cities and towns Kennametal calls home. These wonderful places are also home to our thousands of employees. At Kennametal, we take great pride in supporting these communities, and helping to make them vibrant, enjoyable places to live and work.
How We Make This Happen:
- The Kennametal Foundation provides monetary grants to qualified organizations in or near communities in which Kennametal is located
- These grants are focused on providing educational opportunities through our “Kennametal Academic Program” AND
- On supporting volunteerism and community related issues through the "Kennametal in the Community Program"
