West’s Commitment to the Community
Established in 1998, the Community Partnership Program oversees the philanthropic activities of Thomson West.

- Educating the future work force
- Providing arts and cultural experiences to the community
- Developing and strengthening youth, families and communities
West’s commitment to the community includes:

Community Grants and In-Kind Contributions
West awards charitable cash grants and in-kind contributions to nonprofit organizations whose mission falls within our focus areas and who have the support and involvement of our employees.
