Social Responsibility & Community Investments
What is the MTH Social Responsibility Group?The MTH Pumps and P&W Foundry Social Responsibility & Community Investment Group is a purpose-driven collective, consisting of passionate individuals drawn from the ranks of MTH and P&W employees. These individuals hail from MTH Tool Company and P&W Foundry, and they share an unwavering commitment to making a positive impact on the world around them. United by a common aspiration to contribute to the betterment of society, this group is dedicated to identifying and supporting causes that foster the well-being and progress of both our local community and the global environment. Gathering together on a monthly basis, a dynamic committee comprised of eight MTH employees convenes to actively engage in the process of allocating funds. With $2,000 at their disposal, these dedicated individuals collaborate to make judicious decisions about Community Investment and Social Responsibility initiatives. Through thoughtful deliberations, they aim to ensure that the chosen endeavors align with the values of MTH Pumps and P&W Foundry, while making a meaningful difference in the lives of those they touch. Since its inaugural meeting in July 2021, this initiative has blossomed into a force for positive change. Guided by their shared commitment to social responsibility, the group has generously contributed more than $47,500 to a diverse range of charitable organizations and noble causes. These contributions extend a helping hand to various aspects of our local and extended community, as well as reaching out to address pressing needs on a broader scale. As the MTH Social Responsibility Group continues to expand its reach and impact, it embodies the spirit of collective action and community engagement that defines the ethos of MTH Pumps and P&W Foundry. With every donation made, this group underscores its dedication to leaving a lasting and positive legacy in the communities it serves. |

Community Investment Projects
GCAMP’s outreach has three main objectives. First, GCAMP is educating young people on the high-quality, high-skills, high-paying opportunities within the manufacturing field. Next, they are dispelling the myths and negative stereotypes surrounding manufacturing. Last but not least, GCAMP is highlighting the amazing work accomplished everyday by those who work in manufacturing. GCAMP connects local students with manufacturers through school visits, plant tours, and more. They bring students and manufacturers together for meaningful interactions, where each group walks away with a better understanding and appreciation of the other group’s value. Through these experiences, manufacturers are able to influence and shape their future workforce, and students are able to see the opportunities that await them when they choose a career in manufacturing. Making a DifferenceWorking with GCAMP, MTH Pumps is optimistic about our future. Through our partnership with GCAMP, new employees are finding meaningful and sustainable careers with MTH and our business is thriving. However, even more than that, we are sustaining, growing, and celebrating manufacturing for the good of everyone - our employees, our community, our country, and our world. David & Velda Tremain Endowed Engineering Scholarship
MTH Pumps started the David and Velda Tremain Endowed Engineering Scholarship to Waubonsee Community College, which is designated for students majoring in Engineering Science with an intent to transfer to a 4 year bachelor's program in Engineering with a minimum 3.0 GPA.
New MTH Sponsored Scholarship in 2024Velda Tremain Endowed Nursing ScholarshipThe Velda Tremain Endowed Nursing Scholarship is open to returning students majoring in Nursing who have a minimum cumulative 3.0 GPA and demonstrate financial need; history of volunteering or community service may be considered. This scholarship is to encourage returning nursing students to complete their degree. Throughout her life, Velda has increasingly recognized the importance of nursing, and she hopes that through this scholarship she will be able to encourage the development of more strong, dedicated, and well-trained nurses to serve our world. The scholarship may cover all or part of tuition and required course fees and may also provide support for required books for credit courses. Award$1,000.00 Deadline05/13/2024 For more information on this scholorship, please visit Waubonsee's website. MTH Annual Pop Can Collection Drive
Another long standing social Responsibility effort is our annual pop can collection. The money from the recycled cans is rounded up to $1,000, then we take nominations at large, amongst employees for donating to charity. This year, we had to do it a little differently, but the voting has produced a winner. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital was the recipient for 2020. 2023 Pop Can Collection Drive went to The Exodus Road. ABOUT THE EXODUS ROADWe envision a world in which humans are never bought, sold, or exploited.
