Grants from this program have been available on application to non-profit organizations and local councils for projects actively involving employees of U. S. Steel Košice and its subsidiaries in the Košice and Prešov regions. In 2026, grants up to the maximum amount of 4,000 euros were awarded to support activities increasing safety in all areas of life, development activities for children and youth and initiatives in the area of environmental protection and preservation of cultural heritage.
So far, 172 community projects have been supported in the Together for the Region program with a total amount exceeding € 450,000.
“Our support for this region has been consistent and wide-ranging. We contribute to developments in the fields of education, culture, sports, and both health and social services. Together for the Region is unique, because our employees themselves actively suggest what is important for others, and the company is happy to provide a helping hand in their efforts.”
