Ameren Employees Donate $1.7 Million to United Way

Ameren employees were once again some of the biggest contributors during United Way’s fall campaign. Ameren co-workers pledged more than $1.7 million to the organization dedicated to helping communities.

The 2019 contributions will benefit more than 1,100 United Way agencies in communities where Ameren employees live and work. 

“We are so grateful for the Ameren leadership team and all of Ameren’s employees for the continued support of our community through United Way,” said Michelle Tucker, president and CEO of United Way of Greater St. Louis. “Each year they exemplify the generosity of the St. Louis region by raising such a tremendous amount.” 

“For five decades, Ameren employees have generously donated their time and money to United Way of Greater St. Louis and to other United Way chapters across Missouri and Illinois,” said Mark Birk, senior vice president of Customer and Power Operations at Ameren Missouri and the company’s 2019 United Way campaign co-chair. “Contributing to the United Way campaign is part of Ameren’s culture of caring, and we are proud to support the positive work they do every day helping our neighbors in need throughout the region.”     

Ameren – in terms of total corporate contributions and the percentage of employees who donate – has long been a leading contributor in the St. Louis region to United Way.

Ameren also supports several United Way leadership societies, including the Charmaine Chapman Society, de Tocqueville Society, Multicultural Leadership Society, and Women’s Leadership Society. Each leadership society offers unique programs and events.

“United Way provides many wonderful opportunities to get involved and support causes that matter to our co-workers,” said Birk. “By building better communities with United Way, our region becomes stronger and our future looks brighter.”
