DECATUR, Ill., March 8, 2023—ADM (NYSE: ADM), a global leader in agricultural origination and nutrition, today announced a $700,000 contribution in support of Decatur-area nonprofit organizations and education programs for 2023.
This year, close to 30 nonprofit organizations and schools will be the recipients of grants, supporting programs and activities throughout Decatur and surrounding central Illinois communities.
“We are thrilled to contribute to and support a wide variety of organizations in the Decatur community.
