At Flint Hills Resources, philanthropy is more than writing checks to charitable organizations. It is a clear set of activities that build strong partnerships and demonstrate results in the community.

Employees participate in a variety of educational programs. They provide instruction and mentoring in programs like Big Brothers Big Sisters, Engineers in Schools and Junior Achievement as well as providing access to hands-on environmental stewardship education. Others support the Driscoll Children's Hospital, Habitat for Humanity and the Salvation Army, among other worthy organizations. Employees and their families help restore and maintain local parks and nature preserves; they also clean up highways and waterways in their communities.
