Anadarko donates $500K to flood relief

Anadarko Petroleum Corp. (NYSE: APC) is donating $500,000 to various agencies for flood relief and recovery, the oil company said this week.

The funds will be donated to the Community Foundation serving Weld County, The American Red Cross’ Colorado Flood Victims Relief Fund, United Way Foothills Relief Fund and United Way Larimer County Relief Fund.

“We are extremely proud of the response of our people and our industry,” Anadarko spokeswoman Robin Olsen said in an email. “Our employees have responded with an overwhelming desire to help those in need and there are a variety of efforts and volunteer opportunities under way.”

Business Cares: April 2024

In Colorado, 1 in 3 women, 1 in 3 men and 1 in 2 transgender individuals will experience an attempted or completed sexual assault in their lifetime. During April, we recognize Sexual Assault Awareness Month with the hopes of increasing conversations about this very important issue.

Anadarko has spent an estimated $150,000 on additional in-kind efforts such as providing potable water to Weld County and hotel rooms and gift cards to displaced families. It also has provided portable toilets, helicopter tours for elected officials and other key personnel. It has also fixed fences and hired a crew to clean a neighborhood street in Boulder.

Spending is likely to grow as recovery efforts continue, Olsen said.
