FedEx<\/a> marked its 50th<\/sup> birthday with launching the Founder\u2019s Fund \u2014 a philanthropic endowment created to honor Frederick W. Smith and his legacy as a business leader and changemaker in communities around the world. FedEx Cares is committing $2 million to kick off the fund. Annual beneficiaries include innovative veteran entrepreneurs and nonprofit organizations chosen by team members for their outstanding volunteer engagement.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cToday is a huge milestone in the history of our company and I am immensely proud to share it with our team members across the world as we deliver what\u2019s next,\u201d President and Chief Executive Officer Raj Subramaniam.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s by building homes for those in need in Hungary or making special deliveries to kids in Italy, giving back is part of the company\u2019s culture.<\/span><\/p>\n

FedEx also recently announced it exceeded its FedEx Cares\u00a050 by 50<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span>\u00a0goal of helping 50 million people by its 50th<\/sup>\u00a0birthday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re proud of our story of connecting the world \u2013 and we know our customers are proud of their stories, too,\u201d added Brie Carere, Chief Customer Officer of FedEx Corp. \u201cThis series lifts up passionate entrepreneurs who are changing the world \u2013 and how FedEx enables small businesses to start small and grow through innovation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Unlimited Tomorrow<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span>,\u00a0Terra Beauty Bars<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span>, and\u00a0Ginjan Bros.<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span>\u00a0were the FedEx small business customers chosen to be photographed to serve as a direct reflection of the modern FedEx brand\u2014 inclusive, innovative, and intelligent.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is an honor and a privilege to work with such an innovator like Fred Smith who guided us to where we are today,\u201d said Subramaniam. \u201cToday is a celebration of our dedicated team members who are committed to our Purple Promise of making every FedEx experience outstanding \u2014 now and for the next 50 years.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
