DuPont’s COVID-19 assistance in Delaware

As the COVID-19 virus continues to spread across the world, Dupont has been working around the clock to deliver solutions that help with prevention and control of this global pandemic, while keeping their employees safe. DuPont has proudly supported its Headquarters community in the following ways:

PPE donations for frontline healthcare workers:

- 2,500 Tyvek® coveralls were donated to the State of Delaware.

- 220 gallons of DuPont-produced hand sanitizer was donated to the Christiana Care Hospital System, to help protect frontline healthcare workers and patients.

- 820 reusable face shields were produced using DuPont-owned 3D printers and filaments, to help protect healthcare workers at A.I. duPont Hospital for Children and Christiana Hospital. DuPont is making approximately 600 shields per week, to meet a total request of 4,000. This was a collaboration between DuPont and Nemours.

Funding donations to the nonprofit community:

- Corporate donation made to the COVID-19 Rapid Relief Fund (managed by the United Way of Delaware)

- Corporate donation made to the COVID-19 Strategic Response Fund (managed by the Delaware Community Foundation)

Other assistance:

- DuPont is accelerating and simplifying its annual community grant-making cycle for those grantees serving the “basic needs” of those who are most vulnerable, to ensure they may continue their critical work during this extraordinary time.

- DuPont investigated N95 mask sterilization through heating technology, at the request of DEMA, to potentially assist care providers facing N95 mask shortages with reuse options.

- A DuPont subject matter expert is serving in an advisory capacity to the COVID-19 Rapid Relief Fund and COVID-19 Strategic Response Fund teams.
