about us

The Embraer Foundation, established in 2017 as a 501(c)(3) organization, is committed to making strategic social investments that positively impact the communities in which Embraer’s employees live and work. Our commitment to the community serves as the cornerstone of the Foundation’s three pillars: social investment, employee engagement through volunteerism, and inspiring aviation amongst youth. Through transformative alignment in each pillar, Embraer and its employees make a difference nationwide by forming meaningful partnerships that foster innovation in education, sustainability, aviation, and DEI.

GRANT PROGRAMS

The Embraer Foundation invests in nonprofit organizations that are building stronger communities, expanding access to education and workforce pathways, and responding when urgent needs arise.

We believe meaningful change happens through trusted partnerships. That is why we support organizations with bold ideas, measurable impact, and deep roots in the communities they serve.

If your work aligns with our focus areas, we invite you to explore opportunities to partner with us.

Employee Engagement

Through volunteering, our employees come together with the purpose of making a difference. Each year, Embraer offers 8 volunteer time off (VTO) hours to encourage giving back to the communities where we operate. 

Our goal is to inspire employees to take a day away from work to engage in experiences that bring us together as a company, and as a community. 

To build tailored and relevant community development, we value our employees’ input on local needs. Thus, most volunteer initiatives the Embraer Foundation promotes, come from within our team. With an approach focused on maximizing local employee engagement, we truly make a difference.

Developing a New Generation of Pilots

It’s never too early to invest in the development of the next generation of aviation professionals, and Embraer is doing just that by exposing young people to the magic of aviation. Established in 2017, the Embraer Foundation is committed to making strategic social investments in local and national programs focused on inspiring aviation amongst the youth. The following organizations work to motivate and inform young people about the many rewarding careers in aviation, while also creating career pathways for underrepresented talent pools in hopes of creating a more dynamic and productive workforce.
