On an annual basis, ITW Buildex employees proudly contribute efforts to the organizations listed below. About ITW FoundationThe Foundation contributes financial support to not-for-profit organizations through two major giving programs: a direct-giving program and a three-for-one matching gift program for employees. ITW's Direct Giving program funds 100 groups in the communities in which we're located. In 2010, ITW Buildex employees have donated over $30,000 to various charitable organizations, resulting in almost $100,000 in total donations. Our grants support organizations that focus on education, the arts, health and human services, social welfare, housing, environmental and youth issues. For 2006, the Foundation contributed more than $12.8 million to fund community initiatives. Matching dollar contributions were more than $4.5 million of our overall funding for the past year. These dollars aid the diverse organizations that our employees choose to support financially. About United WayUnited Way is ITW's charitable organization of choice. We believe our alliance with United Way enables our dollars to reach farther and have the greatest impact possible. The monies raised through employee contributions were distributed to 305 local United Way chapters throughout the United States and Canada. In 2010/2011, employee pledges from active employees and retirees, plus $1-for-$1 Foundation match grants, totaled approximately $10.3 million. During our annual United Way Campaign, ITW Buildex had 100% participation at our Itasca and Elgin locations with a total employees contribution of almost $30,000 to various local chapters of the United Way. As a result of our high participation percentage, the ITW Foundation matched our donation at the highest possible level for a grand total of over $60,000 being raised. About Junior Achievement ProgramITW participates in Junior Achievement programs that use hands-on experiences to help young people from kindergarten through high school understand the economics of life. We provide volunteers who donate time each semester to schools where our business units are located. In 2006, more than 300 men and women volunteered their time to teach programs in nine states. Participation in the Chicago Bowl-A-Thon, where we have raised more than $2.2 million to fund Junior Achievement programs over the past 15 years, is a highlight for employees. Buildex volunteers participate in various Junior Achievement events and programs at local elementary schools, facilitating various business related educational activities.

This year the Buildex bowling teams raised over $3,000 and ITW as a whole raised $780,000.
