Radiating hope across our communities

Background

AMETEK's IntelliPower and AMETEK Programmable Power businesses recently strengthened their partnership with California-based Radiant Futures, a non-profit that supports survivors of domestic violence.

Radiating hope across our communities


With matching funds from the AMETEK Foundation, IntelliPower and AMETEK Programmable Power have contributed to Radiant Futures through back-to-school drives, food drives, and toy drives that ensure children experience the magic of the holiday season.

At AMETEK, social responsibility extends beyond just giving back-it includes building meaningful partnerships and making a positive difference in the communities we call home. Our IntelliPower and AMETEK Programmable Power businesses exemplify this by taking active roles in creating connections with non-profits that serve their local community, including with Radiant Futures, a non-profit that empowers individuals to create brighter pathways for themselves and their families.

Radiant Futures is building a safer community in Orange County, California. Originally created to meet the extraordinary need for shelter services for survivors of domestic violence, Radiant Futures quickly expanded to providing a comprehensive residential program, a children's program, a crisis hotline, and a community services program.

IntelliPower recently held a toy drive to ensure that children served by Radiant Futures will experience the magic of the holiday season.

Partnering with companies like AMETEK helps Radiant Futures reach more survivors and provide the high-quality services they need. With the help of AMETEK's ongoing support, this year alone, Radiant Futures has been able to answer nearly 3,000 helpline calls and texts, provide over 20,000 bed-nights for those in need, and offer tailored services like legal advocacy and housing assistance.

"It has been powerful to participate in the meaningful relationship that we've built with an organization like Radiant Futures," said Dan Ketchum, VP & General Manager, AMETEK PSID. "With a commitment to social responsibility, our teams will continue to work together to uplift our community members and strengthen the communities where we live and work."

While AMETEK has supported Radiant Futures for several years through fundraisers and matching donations from the AMETEK Foundation, it was a recent site visit with IntelliPower and AMETEK Programmable Power's leadership and HR teams that deepened the meaning of their support. They had the opportunity to hear real stories of resilience about local women who were able to rebuild their lives with the help of Radiant Futures.

In July 2024, HR Teams from IntelliPower and AMETEK Programmable Power went onsite to Radiant Futures for an AMETEK Foundation check presentation during which the teams learned firsthand how their support was helping to improve lives.

Learning about this mission in action underscored the importance of our team's work and reinforced their dedication to supporting the work of Radiant Futures. It paved the way for continued collaboration through back-to-school drives, food collections, holiday toy drives, and more.
