Community Involvement
Fox RPM Corp. is committed to supporting the community in which we live and work, through financial contributions as well as generous donations of time. While our corporate goal is primarily to assist organizations that address the concerns of women and children, we are also pleased to donate to charities that are supported by our clients and colleagues, all of whom have invested in our success. A few examples of charities we support are listed below.
American Heart Association
“Thanks so much for your generous support of the 2004 American Heart Association’s Boston Heart Walk. This is an important cause for Philips Medical Systems and for the Heart Association’s research and education programs. In addition to making a significant financial contribution, we appreciate your staff being a part of our walking team. Your ongoing generosity has helped our team surpass our goals in each of the past 3 years!”

Boston Children's Theatre 
Boston Children's Theatre, celebrating 55 years working with children in the arts, is very pleased to have the support of Fox RPM Corp. Without their sponsorship, BCT would not be able to reach a wide public radio audience. Public-spirited businesses willing to offer a helping hand are hard to find, but crucial to sustaining the rich cultural fabric of Greater Boston. "Thank you, Fox!"
Dress for Success 
This organization helps complete what may seem to be the simplest of steps as low-income women work to regain control of their lives – dressing for the job interview. Founded in 2001, Dress for Success Boston equips, empowers and supports low-income women as they enter or re-enter the workforce. Many Fox employees donate clothing, and the company donates the cost of collecting and delivering the items.
“Thank you so much for the generous clothing donations. The things are beautiful!”
Nancy Schneider
Founder
Metropolitan Boston Housing Partnership
“On behalf of the staff and clients of MBHP, I would like to thank you for participating in the Back Pack Project that included the MBHP Scattered Site Family Emergency Shelter program. Your generous donation of 8 backpacks filled with school supplies and clothing…allowed each of the children to start the school year prepared and with pride. As you can imagine, families who are homeless experience tremendous stress, and your donation provided much needed comfort and relief.”
Susan Nohl
Director of Client Services
Pan-Mass Challenge
for the Jimmy Fund of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
“On behalf of the Serono team, thank you for your generous gift again this year, in support of our efforts in the Pan-Mass Challenge. Because of your support, we were again able to exceed our goal.”

“Gretchen Fox, President of Fox RPM Corp., has been a loyal and valued supporter of Simmons College and its School of Management since receiving her MBA in 1987. In addition to being a major financial contributor, Gretchen (along with members of her staff) have donated hundreds of hours of time to participate in new student recruiting, ongoing educational programs, and faculty research and case writing. Whenever we need help, we know we can count on Fox. Our partnership with Fox has brought great value to our School and to our students.
