In 2003, Golder Associates formed a Trust otherwise known as the Golder Trust for Orphans. Its main focus is to provide support to children who have been orphaned due to the AIDS pandemic. The Trust hopes to do this by workings towards improving their quality of life and by supporting projects that embrace the same principles.
The funding for this Trust has been primarily through Golder’s employees and is now currently being supported through external resources as well. Through these donations, financial aid is provided, which is used to help care for and counsel families as well as those around them with HIV/AIDS. The Golder Trust for Orphans is currently focusing their efforts in Africa, but hopes to branch off to other locations of the world.
The Trust allows for a one time grant for organizations that are seeking to take immediate action as well as contributing funds to organizations that require support in order to pursue their activities.
