Community Overview

Giving back is in Delta's blood — literally. In 1941, the year Delta moved to Atlanta, we launched a partnership with the American Red Cross to operate blood drives and have been doing so ever since. As Delta grew into a global airline, our commitment to positively impact the communities where our employees live, work and serve grew in turn. Giving back to our communities has been core to Delta's culture and mission to connect the world for 100 years. While committing 1% of profits, we invest our time, skills and resources through partnerships with local, national and global nonprofits and other strategically aligned organizations to drive progress in our pillars of focus: environment, equity, education and entire wellness.

Expectations for companies to be leaders in civic engagement continue to increase. Delta Air Lines demonstrates how to maximize the full range of their assets — from people power to policy to financial contributions — to meet pressing needs and create thriving communities where they live and work. We’re thrilled to uplift and celebrate them as an honoree of The Civic 50 2024.”
