GLOBALFOUNDRIES Foundations Receive Final Installments of $5 ...

To celebrate the groundbreaking of Fab 8 in July 2009, GLOBALFOUNDRIES made the first installment in a series of payments to the GLOBALFOUNDRIES-Town of Malta Foundation and the GLOBALFOUNDRIES- Town of Stillwater Foundation with a contribution of $1 million. GLOBALFOUNDRIES has now contributed a total of $5 million to community development organizations, which will fund programs and projects that provide tangible benefits of a public nature to diverse groups in the community including: no-for-profit corporations, charities, community arts and theater groups, community historical sites, special events, education programs, and sports and recreation activities.

Each installment to the two charitable organizations was marked by key milestones toward successful construction and start of operations at Fab 8. The first installment payment is now being used to create a recreational sports field complex on the Luther Forest Technology Campus and to make improvements at the Round Lake baseball fields.
