Kimberly-Clark Corporation has announced a commitment of $10 million over the next three years to assist the Fox Valley region in Wisconsin as it recovers from the severe tornadoes that recently affected the area. The funding is intended to support long-term recovery efforts, strengthen community resilience, and aid rebuilding initiatives.

This pledge is among the most significant community investments in Kimberly-Clark's history, reflecting the company's deep roots in Neenah, Wisconsin, where it was established in 1872.
"Our connection to Neenah runs deep," said Mike Hsu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Kimberly-Clark. "The Fox Valley community has played a vital role in shaping Kimberly-Clark into the company it is today. As the region works toward recovery, we remain dedicated to partnering with local residents, organizations, businesses, and civic leaders to help rebuild a stronger and more resilient community."

Kimberly-Clark is collaborating with local authorities, nonprofit organizations, government agencies, and community stakeholders to identify both immediate priorities and long-term recovery needs. The company is also evaluating partnerships and initiatives where its financial support can make the greatest difference. The funding will be allocated over a three-year period to ensure continued assistance for sustainable recovery and resilience projects.
