Austal in the Community
Austal USA believes a strong community is essential for a corporate industrial base and as the region’s largest industrial employer, Austal USA is committed to meeting the challenge.
Austal USA’s annual corporate giving program provides over half a million dollars to key state and local community initiatives targeting community impact, economic development, education and workforce development, environmental, health and wellness, and veterans and military support initiatives .
In 2012, Austal USA first teamed up with their current and potential vendors to host its first Charity Golf Invitational, raising money for United Way of Southwest Alabama and other local non-profits. To date, the Austal USA Charity Golf Invitational has infused over $2 million into the Mobile area, supporting organizations that have meaningful impact on the lives of south Alabamians.
In addition to Austal USA’s robust corporate giving program, the Austal USA Volunteer Network serves as an internal mechanism to offer employees opportunities to volunteer in their local communities. Enjoyable and rewarding projects are supported throughout the year to include Habitat for Humanity builds, American Cancer Society events, Heart Walk, toy drives, robotic competitions and dozens of other charity events for various causes.
