Dow AgroSciences is committed to being a supportive and responsible contributor to our local communities. We actively help improve the quality of life in those communities where our employees live and work and believe that our success is tied to the success of the communities in which we operate. Our Corporate Citizenship program strives to meet the unique needs of each community, while supporting our business and employee community service interests.
Science and technology are at the heart of creating sustainable solutions to many of society’s challenges, therefore we focus our efforts on serving growers and ranchers, preparing tomorrow’s innovators through science education programming, and preserving and protecting the environment. We also provide leadership and take an active role on issues of mutual importance in the communities in which we operate.

- Focused primarily on the needs of middle school, high school and undergraduate university students and teachers, we actively support educational institutions, programming, and community activities that serve to identify, nurture and provide incentives in the development of tomorrow’s scientists, technicians, engineers and mathematicians.
