Chevron Corporation announced a contribution of $250,000 from the Chevron Global Community Fund to the All Together NM Fund and Taos Community Foundation to support relief efforts for wildfires in New Mexico.

“Chevron is committed to supporting first responders, local governments, and non-profit organizations as they fight to contain fires across Taos and Colfax counties in northern New Mexico,” said Mark Urfer, manager of Chevron’s Questa Site in Questa, New Mexico, which has employees, contractors, and community partners affected by the situation. “The company’s donations reflect our commitment to helping people in the communities where we do business.”

The All Together NM Fund and the Chevron Questa Grants for Good Fund at Taos Community Foundation will each receive a $125,000 donation to support immediate relief efforts throughout the state. In addition, the company will match qualifying donations to wildfire relief efforts made by employees and retirees, as well as provide financial contributions to non-profit organizations where employees volunteer.
