As employee-owners we are not only committed to the success of our Company, but also the communities where we live. The ESP International Charitable Foundation (a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization) was founded because the list of problems facing our world isn’t getting any shorter, but we practice on the principle that every little bit helps.
The ESP International Charitable Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that contributes to the strength and vitality of our community through financial contributions and volunteering. We seek to build strong partnerships and lasting value in our community by supporting organizations that:
- Improve the educational and economic opportunities of low- and moderate-income individuals and families
- Enhance the cultural and artistic life of the communities in which we live and work
Each year, ESP employees vote for the charities within our local communities they would like to see the Foundation sponsor. Throughout the year we host fundraisers and donate a majority of the proceeds to those charities; the remaining funds are used to support other local non-profits.

"The March of Dimes was honored to be the 2014 ESP Charitable Foundation of the year. It was a great pleasure working with the Foundation board and the ESP employees throughout their campaign to raise awareness of our mission and necessary funds. ESP International is a true community leader."
Lindsey Gruber, Hawkeye Division Director
March of Dimes
"Camp Courageous had the good fortune to be chosen by the employees of ESP International to be their primary charity for a year. ESP had supported camp before and after this special year. It was exceptional financial support, but it was so much more than that. It was volunteering at camp and camp events, providing the camp needed supplies, and a very heartwarming part of their support was when they took a camper’s family, that was really struggling, under their wings to provide food, toys, and so much more to make their Christmas Holiday the ‘best ever’. I, along with the Camp Courageous Board and staff were very impressed with the dedication and passion ESP staff had to help others…it was incredible. I was also impressed with their dedication and how proud they were to work for ESP. What a wonderful company to be a part of…both in their pride to produce exceptional products…and also their desire to give back."
