Dear Associates:

Our company has a long history of providing support to our associates and local communities through the Crane Fund for Widows and Children (Crane Fund).  Philanthropy at Crane dates to the early days of the company and is part of our culture.  We are pleased to announce the kickoff of the 2024 campaign and are soliciting your requests for charities to support within our communities.

In 2023, the Crane Fund provided $200,000 in donations to 54 different organizations nominated by our associates. Associates can request donations for charities which provide direct services to the needy and disadvantaged through the annual campaign.  We will give special focus on donation requests where associates have direct knowledge of their work in the community or volunteer their time.  Attached are several documents which include the overview of the 2024 campaign including deadlines and submission criteria along with the donation request form.  The submissions deadline is March 22, 2024.

Please contact your Manager, Joan Carrigan, or me with any questions.

We look forward to receiving your submissions and helping our communities through the Crane Fund.  Thank you for Being Crane.

John O’Sullivan
President
