PIEDMONT LITHIUM FOUNDATION

We are inspired to positively impact the world and our community.

We created the Piedmont Lithium Foundation – Power for Life, Inc. to help us make a difference in McMinn County – and wherever we plan to operate – to focus on supporting local educational and charitable initiatives. 

STEM Education

As a science-based organization, we are committed to supporting the core pillars of a successful education: science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). We expect to award scholarships and grants to help further these learnings in our community.
