Company Commitment

Kids Around the Corner Foundation

Fleet Advantage’s dedication to social responsibility is embodied in its Kids Around the Corner Foundation. KATC recently celebrated its 10th anniversary and has surpassed $1 million in life to date total donations in 2024. Through this initiative, the company expanded support to over 50 nonprofit organizations, including Truckers Against Trafficking and Truckersfinalmile.org, which provide critical assistance to truck drivers and their families. Fleet Advantage also strengthened partnerships with The Caring Place and 4KIDS of South Florida, ensuring vulnerable populations receive essential services.

Among its flagship initiatives, the Back-to-School Backpack Drive provided over 200 children affected by behavioral health challenges with school supplies, easing financial burdens on families. Fleet Advantage also deepened its relationship with Junior Achievement of South Florida, supporting programs that equip students with real-world financial literacy skills.

“Employee engagement is central to Fleet Advantage’s philanthropic efforts, with employees participating in quarterly volunteer events,” the company said. “In addition to corporate giving, employees actively contribute their time to causes that align with the company’s mission, fostering a culture of service and social responsibility.”
