support,
- Provide long-term, sustainable, positive results for the greatest number of people
possible,
- Come from an organization that is financially viable (can provide financial statements
upon request) and efficiently and effectively managed,
- Include options or potential for Vale employee engagement where possible,
- Clearly outline options and potential for appropriate recognition of Vale’s support,
- Include measurable outcomes and report to Vale on outcomes on a regular basis and
