CINCINNATI, OH – October 29, 2024 – Michelman, the Cincinnati-based, global innovator in water-based chemistry, recently announced a $750,000 contribution that will be distributed across a variety of community-focused non-profit organizations, along with STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) education programs and initiatives that advance sustainability.  The financial gift will be contributed through the company’s six global locations in honor of the company’s 75th anniversary and is in addition to Michelman’s longstanding tradition of philanthropy and giving back to the communities where it has a presence.

In Cincinnati, Michelman leadership and associates volunteered at a variety of organizations including Easter Seals, Brighton Center, Last Mile Food Rescue, New Life Furniture Bank and United Way of Greater Cincinnati, among others, engaging in a wide array of hands-on activities including painting and repairing homes, packaging food and landscape/garden clean up.
