DENSO joins tornado relief effort with auto partners, donates $250K

DENSO donates to American Red Cross, SBP to support recovery of communities where it operates in Arkansas, Kentucky and Tennessee

Southfield, Mich.—The DENSO North America Foundation (DNAF), DENSO’s philanthropic group, is donating $250,000 to support relief efforts after severe storms devastated parts of the South and Midwest last weekend.  

“Our mission has always been to positively contribute to the places where we live and work — especially in times of crisis. Now is one of those times,” said Andris Staltmanis, president of DNAF and DENSO’s North America Thermal Business Unit leader. “We hope our support can contribute to a full recovery, and our hearts are with everyone who has been affected by this tragedy.”

Where DENSO Funds are Going 
DNAF will give $200,000 to the American Red Cross to assist relief activities in Arkansas, Kentucky and Tennessee, states in which DENSO operates. Those who are interested and able can make their own donation to the American Red Cross through DENSO’s disaster relief microsite.

DNAF will also donate $50,000 to SBP, previously known as the Saint Bernard Project, which is a national organization dedicated to accelerating rebuild and recovery efforts by working closely with public and private partners.  

DENSO donations are all sourced from DNAF funds specifically earmarked for charitable initiatives. DNAF is donating the funds alongside industry partners Toyota and Toyota Tsusho America as part of a collective effort to help uplift areas in which they are located. In total, the companies will donate $810,000 to recovery initiatives.
