MetLife Foundation was established in 1976 by MetLife to carry on its long-standing tradition of corporate contributions and community involvement.

The Partnership for a Drug-Free America is a nonprofit organization uniting communications professionals, renowned scientists and parents. Best known for its national drug-education campaign, the Partnership's mission is to reduce illicit drug use in America.
