Community Members Serve as Eyes, Ears and Mouth for Dow
The mission of the Dow Pittsburg Community Advisory Panel (CAP) is to actively promote a mutually beneficial relationship between the communities surrounding the Dow Pittsburg facility and the company through ongoing interaction, supporting shared goals and dedication to identifying and resolving issues of concern.
More than a dozen community members meet monthly to advise Dow on things happening in the community, to learn about activities taking place at Dow that may have an impact on the community and receive updates on the safety, security and environmental efforts underway at Dow Pittsburg.

The Dow CAP Competitive Grant Program
As part of Dow charitable giving – knowing that our CAP members have close ties within the community – the CAP is given funds each year to assist local non-profits with grant monies. The competitive process usually begins in June, with applications due in late July and the grant money being distributed in early October. The focus of their grants can change from year to year.
