NEW YORK - Dec. 14, 2018 - CBS Corporation (NYSE: CBS.A and CBS) announced today that it will disburse a pledged $20 million to 18 organizations to support eliminating sexual harassment in the workplace. These organizations represent different critical approaches to combatting sexual harassment, including efforts to change culture and improve gender equity in the workplace, train and educate employees, and provide victims with services and support. CBS' support of these endeavors ties into the Company's ongoing commitment to strengthening its own workplace culture.
Grant funds will go toward assisting these organizations in expanding their existing work and developing new programs that will reach new and diverse communities.
Complete list of CBS grant fund recipients include the following:
Catalyst
Collaborative Fund for Women's Safety and Dignity (Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors)- re-granting
Free the Bid
Freedom Forum Institute - Power Shift Project
Futures Without Violence
Girls for Gender Equity / me too.' Movement
International Women's Media Foundation
National Women's Law Center
New York Women's Foundation - re-granting
Press Forward
Producers Guild of America Foundation
RAINN
STRIVE International
Sundance Institute's Momentum program
TIME'S UP Entertainment
TIME'S UP Legal Defense Fund
Women in Film Los Angeles
Women's Media Center
CBS will give a portion of the grant to two organizations, the Collaborative Fund for Women's Safety and Dignity (through Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors) and the New York Women's Foundation, in order to disburse smaller grants to additional organizations.
CBS worked with expert advisory firm RALLY, an issue-driven communications firm, to determine the criteria for the grants and develop a strategy that will support new and existing work. The resulting strategy takes three approaches to creating safer and more equitable workplaces: increasing the number of women in positions of power, promoting education and culture change, and supporting victims of harassment and assault.
This grant announcement is part of the Company's separation agreement with the Company's former chief executive officer, which states the donation was deducted from any severance benefits that may be due to him.
Both the Collaborative Fund for Women's Safety and Dignity and the New York Women's Foundation will be announcing Request for Proposals (RFPs) for organizations to apply for additional funds.
