In the aftermath of Tropical Storm Imelda, Chevron U.S.A. Inc.
announced it will donate $500,000 to help support local public
schools in select cities and neighborhoods of the Greater Houston
area. The donation will be applied to help fund eligible classroom
projects posted on DonorsChoose.org through Chevron’s Fuel Your
School program.
During this time of need, Chevron has made changes to the
program to better serve this affected area. To assist in the
region’s recovery, Chevron will not base the program’s funding in
select cities and neighborhoods of the Greater Houston area on fuel
sales. Instead, Chevron will donate the full $500,000 for the
program in this area toward eligible projects posted on
DonorsChoose.org. Fuel Your School project eligibility requirements
will still apply.
“With so many Greater Houston area communities impacted by this
tragedy – many of which are still recovering from the devastation
caused by Hurricane Harvey in 2017 – it’s important for us to
support recovery efforts,” said Damon Echevarria, Chevron’s vice
president of Americas Products, East and Latin America. “We’re
proud to support local teachers and students and are committed to
helping them rebuild their classrooms by helping to provide the
resources needed to restore learning.”
Chevron encourages public school teachers in select cities and
neighborhoods of the Greater Houston area to submit classroom
project requests to Donorschoose.org for needed supplies and
education materials, including project requests for STEM resources
and student-life essentials, such as clothing, personal hygiene
products and food. This can also include materials to help rebuild
their classrooms.
The 2019 Fuel Your School project submission period opened on
Sept. 30, 2019, at 8 p.m. Central Daylight Time. Eligible classroom
projects will be funded on a first-come, first-served basis, in the
order in which the projects are received and posted on
DonorsChoose.org by teachers from throughout the participating
schools.
