Exxon Mobil Corporation Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer Darren Woods presents the company’s annual
holiday gift of $50,000 to Family Compass, a nonprofit organization
dedicated to ending child abuse and neglect through in-home
mentoring and life-altering community educational programs. From

of Family Compass, Ona Foster, Family Compass Chief Executive
Officer, and Kathy Woods.
“Every child in our community should have a stable home life and
strong environment in which to thrive,” Woods said. “It is an honor
to provide this grant in recognition of the work Family Compass
continues to do in North Texas to build healthy families and a
strong community.”
Family Compass was established in 1992 as a result of escalating
incidents of child abuse and a lack of services focused on
prevention. The agency offers home mentoring and community
education programs for families that have elevated risk for child
abuse and that reside in the communities throughout Dallas and
Collin counties that are most in need.
“We are deeply grateful to ExxonMobil for its generosity, and
humbled to be the recipient of this donation,” said Ona Foster, CEO
of Family Compass. “These dollars will make a tremendous difference
in our outreach, which is so critical every day, but especially
during holidays when stresses can be compounded.”
Family Compass believes that every child has the fundamental
right to a healthy family and environment, the opportunity to
succeed in school and to experience life without
violence. Since its inception, the organization has served
more than 48,000 children and parents whose circumstances put
children at risk.
ExxonMobil created the Chairman’s Holiday Gift in 2006 to fund
the crucial work of nonprofit organizations in North Texas, home to
the company’s corporate headquarters. Previous grant recipients
have included Promise House, The Gatehouse, Jonathan’s Place, ACH
Child and Family Services and Grapevine Relief and Community
Exchange.
