WPX Energy, Inc. | 2018 Charitable Giving Report 1
At this time last year, our YTD charitable
giving was $1.16 million. This year? Close
to the same – $1.07 million.
Nearly 300 organizations have benefitted
from WPX’s generosity in the first three
quarters of 2018.
This includes the American Heart
Association, who is going to nationally
recognize WPX in 2019. This year we
raised $235,000 for the AHA, making
us 1 of the 25 largest supporters in
the country.
The Tulsa World also has mentioned us
multiple times this year, including a
spotlight on our Day of Caring at Street
School where we’ve helped for seven
years in a row.
Importantly, we also streamlined how we
administrate our giving programs to
maximize our charitable dollars and
strengthen our internal controls.
And in the basin where we have the most
rigs, we’ve nearly tripled the level of our
local community giving YTD vs. last year,
organized by a group of eight employees
in our Carlsbad office.
When it comes to our community
involvement and charitable endeavors,
WPX people don’t just make a difference,
they are the difference.

100% of all matching gifts are now administrated internally again
following the culmination of our agreement with a third party. In
March 2018, we introduced a new process for employee matching
gift requests that was built on our own network. This eliminated fees
incurred by WPX for every request, thus maximizing the company’s
charitable dollars. Recipients of our matching gifts now receive 100%
of an approved match.

Community Affairs initiated the first comprehensive review and
rewrite off WPX’s giving policy since its spinoff. New measures were
added to improve the tracking of gifts, delegation of authority and
eligibility guidelines. The new standard was published for
employees in April 2018.

In June, an independent firm began a review of our charitable
contributions processes and controls. Recommendations were
presented in October 2018. Two new controls are already
implemented, with additional measures planned for 2019. New
controls primarily center around the disclosure of potential conflicts
of interest for employees who serve in some capacity with
nonprofits, along with formalizing how new organizations are
added to eligibility for matching gifts.
