2019 Social Impact Report

Funding Breakdown

WE ARE GENERAL MOTORS

and we believe strongly that our

future business and society depend on the bold actions of today. We see a future with Zero Crashes, Zero

Emissions and Zero Congestion and this vision is embedded in all we do to advance our business and society.

Our social impact strategy places a sharp focus on

philanthropic investments that create smart, safe and

sustainable communities around the world and

establishes a framework that allows us to measure

positive social change aligned to business objectives.

Outside of investments in our headquarters city of

Detroit, this strategy is limited to three primary focus

areas, including STEM education, vehicle and road

safety and community development.

In 2019, GM partnered with 349 U.S.-based nonprofits

with a goal of impacting an estimated 1.9 million

individuals through a variety of programmatic

interventions.

While many of our partnerships have a global impact, the above map depicts distribution of philanthropic

funds across the United States where programmatic activities occurred in 2019.

FOCUS AREA SPOTLIGHT

We are committed to SAFETY in everything we do

We earn CUSTOMERS for life

We build BRANDS that inspire passion and loyalty

We translate breakthrough TECHNOLOGIES into vehicles and experiences that people love

We create SUSTAINABLE solutions that improve the COMMUNITIES in

which we live and work

It’s not just crucial to the future of our workforce but equally important to help our communities attract and

retain good talent and jobs. Through nonprofit partnerships, we support programs that fall into four emerging

areas with the potential to drive transformative solutions. We call this model the STEM Impact Compass, which

is depicted above.

In 2019, GM partnered with 51 nonprofit organizations across the U.S. in an effort to:

STEM EDUCATION

Partner Spotlight

GM hosted 25 high school students

from across the country for a STEM

for Changemaking summit with

Ashoka at the GM Tech Center in

Warren, Michigan. Attendees were

selected for impressive projects that

used STEM to make a difference in

their communities. Students worked

with 112 GM employees as they

further developed ideas and

enhanced their changemaking skills.

ASHOKA MIT SOLVE ISTE This project sought solutions to

global challenges from tech

entrepreneurs by creating a

platform for

conversations

on topics like

circular

economy,

innovation and

being a good

corporate

citizen. At the

2019 Solve

Challenge

Finals in New York City, GM’s new

Chief Sustainability Officer Dane

Parker served as a judge.

In its second year, the GM/ISTE

Artificial Intelligence professional

development course scaled to reach

516 educators across the U.S. and 15

other countries. The majority of

participants were technology

coaches, coordinators or

administrators who will help bring

these AI project concepts to school

districts around the world.

Increase the number of students who earn a STEM degree that matches the market needs

Increase the presence, achievement and persistence for underrepresented minorities in STEM fields

Increase the supply of qualified teachers trained in STEM-related subjects

With the ever-increasing level of advanced technologies entering the automotive industry, GM strives

to expand and improve education opportunities in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).

Immersive Learning

Hands-on experiences that encourage active participation and

drive engagement.

Computational Thinking

Developing analytical,

multidisciplinary and transferable

skills like experimentation &

problem solving.

Artificial Intelligence

Exploring AI-powered

technologies with the potential to

facilitate teaching and learning.

Digitization of Education

Using online and digital tools to transform how

learning is delivered inside and outside

the classroom.

VEHICLE & ROAD SAFETY

220 high schools to provide road

safety programming to students

Motor vehicle crashes continue to be the number one cause of

unintentional death among children and teens ages 5-19 and are

responsible for nearly 40,000 lives lost on U.S. roadways annually. GM aims to bridge the gap between today’s

transportation reality and a future of zero crashes. We do this by investing in partnerships and initiatives with

organizations like Safe Kids Worldwide, National Safety Council and Mothers Against Drunk Driving. Our grant

funding last year will impact an estimated 1.1 million individuals across the U.S. with programming to help:

Increase awareness of effective road safety practices

Partnering with DoSomething.org, Chevrolet supported the Not

Safe for Wheels (NSFW) Campaign to build awareness on several

road safety topics. The campaign far exceeded its goal by 224%,

exposing over 134,000 young people to driver, passenger, cyclist

and pedestrian safety tips. To bring the partnership to life, GM

hosted a road safety challenge where 14 high school students

competed to develop solutions to seat belt use, distracted driving,

speeding, out-of-vehicle awareness and impaired driving. GM

safety experts and DoSomething staff mentored the students,

while GM executives served as judges to name the winning team.

All students received stipends for future educational purposes.

Innovative Placemaking Economic Prosperity Workforce Readiness

Community development is defined as generating solutions for

common problems. At GM, we focus our community development efforts on workforce readiness,

economic prosperity and innovative placemaking. We recognize the importance to not only equip individuals

with the essential skills to gain secure employment in a competitive economy, but also empower them with

the tools to advance economically in communities that positively impact their well-being. Therefore, we

partner with nonprofit organizations that work to:

“General Motors has been headquartered in the city of Detroit for

more than a century. Our vision for this city is what every company,

and every citizen, wants for it: a robust city with a thriving economy,

good schools and strong, vibrant neighborhoods.”

— Mark Reuss, President of General Motors

For more than 100 years, Detroit has been home to GM’s global headquarters. That’s why we have aligned specific areas of focus to the needs of Detroit and its residents. Last year

alone, GM invested nearly $10.5 million with local nonprofits that are delivering lasting change.

The below roadmap highlights some of the nonprofits we work with to help make Detroit a great place

to learn, work and thrive.

teamGM Cares In 2019, 18,880 GM employees

volunteered 181,258 hours at 541

nonprofits around the world. This

global employee volunteer force,

known as teamGM Cares,

encourages employees to roll up

their sleeves and improve our

communities around the world.

GM Student Corps is a comprehensive, paid summer internship program for high

school students in under-resourced communities that offers community service,

life-skill training, college readiness and team building. This program has worked

with more than 1,340 high school and college students since 2013.

In partnership with 15 local Detroit,

Flint and Pontiac high schools, 150 students are divided into teams

and paired with GM retirees and college interns who mentor them

across the 10-week program.

In 2019, the program placed a greater focus on life skills and

professional development in partnership with Urban Alliance, a

national youth development nonprofit. Additionally, GM

employees led workshops on topics like data analytics, app

development and vehicle technology to provide students with

21st century skills.

- Vickie Mecsey, Manager of Workplace Engineering and Operations Solutions

“GM’s commitment to offering shared and inspiring

activities outside of the office is very powerful and

rewarding. For me, helping others kindles a sense of

pride, joy and genuine happiness and gives me the

chance to have a positive impact on my community

and change lives for the better.”

DISASTER PREPAREDNESS AND RESPONSE

Each year, GM makes a strategic, pre-investment in disaster response services so that in times of disaster, the

American Red Cross is positioned to help immediately rather than fundraising first and responding later. GM

joins approximately 60 other corporations as members of the Annual Disaster Giving Program that collectively

provides the American Red Cross with these financial resources.

Additionally, our OnStar team partners with the American Red Cross to provide critical

dispatch services when call volumes peak during disasters.

In 2019, GM employees installed smoke alarms in communities in Arizona, Michigan and

Texas as part of the Red Cross’ Sound the Alarm Campaign.

Canada: GM Canada and its employees donated $1.9 million to nonprofits that

impacted more than 150,000 Canadians in 2019. This work included a partnership

with five universities that sent 1,100 youth to a STEM camp last summer and was

supported by employee volunteers.

China: As part of GM’s long-term support of the China Development Research

Foundation’s Village Kindergarten program, employees spent five days in Sangzhi,

Hunan to provide art, music, science and sports classes to underprivileged children. The

program also leverages social and government resources to offer preschool education to

children between the ages of 3 and 6 to help improve social and emotional development.

Brazil: We expanded our partnership with Safe Kids Worldwide to conduct essential

research, promote awareness and educate child passenger safety technicians to

enhance child occupant protection in Brazil.

EMPOWERING COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE U.S...

...AND AROUND THE WORLD

GM’s social impact expands beyond the United States to other countries where GM has a presence. Below are

three highlights of international investments:

Now in its 10th year, GM’s Community Impact Grants program is a prime example of how our local facilities

support our neighbors through local nonprofit partnerships. In 2019, GM plants and facilities provided more

than $2 million in grant funding to more than 150 nonprofits that will impact an estimated 90,000 people.

Highlights from last year’s program include:
