Summary
Since 1952, the Caterpillar Foundation has been dedicated to transforming lives in the communities where we live and work around the world. Together with our partners, we champion programs that support education, environment, and basic human needs – which help people help themselves out of poverty. The Caterpillar Foundation's mission is to alleviate poverty and place people on the path to prosperity.
Their Key Areas of Focus:

Mentoring & leadership – Improving youth academic performance through essential skills development
Workforce readiness – Providing the basic skills and training needed to find and maintain quality employment

Natural Resource Management in economic growth and development
