Nordson and Nordson Corporation Foundation Give More than $10 million to Charitable Organizations in Fiscal Year 2024
January 29, 2025 | BUSINESS WIREEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Nordson Corporation and Nordson Corporation Foundation announced that it contributed more than $10 million to charitable organizations during its 2024 fiscal year that ended October 31. Nordson’s global philanthropic programs are dedicated to enhancing the neighborhoods in areas where it conducts major operations through various corporate and employee-led efforts, and by partnering with high-impact nonprofits aligned to its mission.
Nordson prioritizes distributing grants to the areas of STEM education, human welfare, and arts and culture, with grants for education totaling more than $4.6 million, or 71% of its giving initiatives. During its 2024 fiscal year, Nordson gave a total of $907,000 in scholarships to 209 students. Its signature Nordson BUILDS Scholarship program, focused on building a skilled and educated workforce in manufacturing, accounted for half of the total scholarship award amount, giving $458,125 to 88 recipients. Students who received Nordson Builds Scholarships attend Boston University, California Institute of Technology, Case Western Reserve University, Cornell University, Georgia Institute of Technology, Michigan State University, North Carolina A&T State University, Rutgers Business School, Spelman College, The Ohio State University and more.
“I strongly believe that as a leading precision technology company, it is our responsibility to give back to the communities where we work and live to empower new possibilities,” said Sundaram Nagarajan, president and chief executive officer of Nordson. “I am proud to continue to support the philanthropic vision set forth by the Nord family. This year, I’m even more proud of the ways our employees came together after devastating natural disasters to support their colleagues and help rebuild their communities.”
“Nordson sets a strong example of how business success and philanthropy go hand in hand,” said Maria Spangler, director of the Nordson Foundation and community relations. “Since joining the company in December, I’ve seen firsthand the pride employees take in the ways they contribute to their communities and positive sentiment for Nordson Impact programs. I look forward to continuing this success and our proud legacy of giving.”
Additional FY24 Nordson Impact Highlights:
- Grants from the Nordson Corporation Foundation accounted for approximately $6.5 million of the total amount awarded.
- Nordson matched roughly $200,000 to the top nonprofits that employees donated to, including St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Second Harvest Foodbank of North Central Ohio and AHBAP Derneği in Turkey.

- Nordson’s A Time to Give U.S. regional campaigns support local nonprofits through employee-led fundraising events. Last year, employees raised more than $180,000 for Good Knights of Lorain County to build beds for children who don’t have one, and more than $45,000 for Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.
