The Arts play an important role around the world in enriching, inspiring, and educating audiences with diverse backgrounds.  In 2007, worldwide contributions supporting arts and cultural programs totaled more than $8.8 million, of which $7.2 million benefited communities in the United States.

Our U.S. Cultural Matching Gift Program encourages and assists employees and retirees in their personal giving to cultural institutions by providing a matching contribution.  In 2007, employees and retirees donated more than $2.5 million to cultural and arts organizations, and ExxonMobil Foundation contributed $1.9 million through matching gifts.
