Hyundai Invests in Sustainability, Community, and Health in Coastal Georgia

• Hyundai continues partnerships with Ducks Unlimited, Make-A-Wish Georgia, and Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Coastal Empire

SAVANNAH, Ga., May 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Hyundai recently supported several nonprofit organizations in Coastal Georgia working in sustainability, community, and health as part of its corporate social responsibility initiative, Hyundai Hope. Ducks Unlimited received a donation to supplement its work in wetlands and waterfowl conservation. Make-A-Wish Georgia received a donation towards the life-changing wishes it grants to children facing critical illness. Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Coastal Empire received a donation to continue its profound work in providing a home away from home for families of seriously ill and injured children. The area is home to Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America (HMGMA), Hyundai Motor Group's first dedicated electric vehicle mass-production plant in Bryan County, Georgia.

"Hyundai is proud of our long-term commitment to Georgia," said Drew Ferguson, senior vice president, government affairs, Hyundai Motor Group, and Georgia native. "This includes investing billions of dollars and creating thousands of jobs in our manufacturing facilities and the supplier ecosystem. It also includes giving back to the communities where our team members live and work. On behalf of all of us at Hyundai, it's an honor to support these worthy organizations that do so much for our communities."

Hyundai partnered with Ducks Unlimited last year, and since then has donated $25,000 towards its conservation efforts in the Coastal Georgia region. Ducks Unlimited is the world's largest private wetlands and waterfowl conservation organization—conserving, restoring, and managing wetlands and associated habitats for North America's waterfowl. This year's donation will be for its Southeast Wetlands Initiative in Georgia.

Hyundai has partnered with Make-A-Wish Georgia since 2023, cumulatively donating $30,000 towards its mission to grant life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. Making these wishes come true helps bring strength, hope, and transformation for the wish child, their family, and the community.

"We are so grateful for Hyundai's generous and unwavering support of our mission," said Tim Earley, president and CEO, Make-A-Wish Georgia. "Together, we are bringing hope and joy to critically ill children and their families when they need it most."

Hyundai partnered with the Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Coastal Empire in 2023 and has since donated $35,000 to the organization. Its mission is to provide a restful, comfortable place for children and their families to find refuge and support as they receive hospital-based medical treatment. Its work helps children heal faster, cope better, and stay healthy. The organization provides more than just a room and a hot meal, but a home away from home.
