| The MGM MIRAGE Charitable Giving Program serves
as the principal funding entity for the Company's community and
social investments. It is the mission of MGM MIRAGE to strengthen
communities in which we operate. With the understanding that one
company cannot meet the multitude of needs each community faces,
it is our priority to strengthen organizations and programs that
are located where our employees live, work and care for their families.
MGM MIRAGE's key community investment areas are:
- Childhood Development - (Birth to 18 years old) Community-based
programs which focus on the overall development and well being
of children. With emphasis placed on at-risk/low income youth
and early childhood development.
- Community Development - Programs that focus on a specific
community issue and contain deliverable outcomes within targeted
populations. Priority is given to organizations that form collaborative
partnerships and/or assist in strengthening existing community
infrastructure.
- Diversity - Programs, which contain valid diversity components,
will receive priority in funding. This includes efforts that encourage
economic development as well as professional and personal growth
of our employees and programs that enhance community resources.
- Education - (K-16) Efforts to strengthen public education,
from kindergarten through higher education.
Within each of these areas, MGM MIRAGE views favorably programs
which target the needs of specific groups, socially or economically
disadvantaged populations and projects which are the direct result
of community collaborations. MGM MIRAGE is more likely to fund programs
that can demonstrate measurable results within targeted populations.
