Lockheed Martin & RTX (Raytheon) Community Giving
Access
Invitation-only or employee-referred grants. Cultivation required with corporate citizenship teams and employee resource groups.
Effort & Priority
Effort: 7 | Priority: Worth Exploring
Success: Medium.
Approach
- Use FOH’s Fort Worth and Orlando chapters (close to Lockheed and RTX hubs) to cultivate local leaders.
- Engage veteran/first responder employee resource groups with volunteer opportunities and impact briefings.
- Frame requests around STEM-focused scholarships or leadership pathways to align with aerospace workforce priorities.
Why FOH Fits
Defense contractors heavily invest in military family support and STEM education. FOH offers a scalable, high-credibility program serving those communities, with options to target scholarships toward STEM degrees or specific bases.
Risks & Next Steps
- Because funding is invite-only, persistence is key—track contacts, share impact updates, and request inclusion in annual review cycles.
- Coordinate with corporate relations to avoid overlap and ensure messaging consistency.
- Start outreach in Q2 2026 following the strategy timeline: chapter leaders in Fort Worth (Lockheed) and Phoenix/Boston (RTX) request introductions.
