As the global leader in safety products, MSA has built a legacy of protecting people around the world. That legacy does not end with our customers. We've frequently stepped forward to provide financial support and safety equipment to assist in recovery and clean-up efforts following natural disasters. In addition, our associates and the MSA Charitable Foundation actively support a broad range of philanthropic organizations and work hard to give back to our communities. It’s who we are and what we do. We will continue to strive to make the world safer, one person at a time.
United Way
The MSA United Way goal is to advance the common good in our community by focusing on education, income and health. The United Way team of volunteers at MSA hold fund-raising events such as Bake Sales, Basket Raffles, and Book Sales on-site to help raise employee awareness. MSA's Charitable Foundation matches every employee contribution, dollar for dollar, therefore doubling the annual contribution! Every year, MSA raises close to a quarter of a million dollars for the United Way to support those in need.
American Heart Association
The American Heart Association is the nation's oldest and largest voluntary organization dedicated to fighting heart disease and stroke. The American Heart Association's mission is to build healthier lives, free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke. The MSA team volunteers and fundraises through a variety of events for this important cause. Previous events have included fundraising raffles, cookbook sales, corn hole tournaments, give back evenings, golf outings, ornament sales, paper heart sales and putt 'fore' parking!
Relay for Life
The American Cancer Society Relay for Life is a 24-hour event to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease. At MSA, we walk to remember….to honor….to celebrate….to educate, and above all to change lives. MSA has proudly supported this event for 10 years.
Junior Achievement
Junior Achievement of Western PA is driven by corporate and community volunteers who deliver relevant, hands-on experiences that give students from kindergarten through high school the skills they need to own their economic success, plan for their future, and make smart academic and economic choices. As a company dedicated to supporting our communities and our leaders of tomorrow, MSA has been a proud supporter of Junior Achievement since the 1930’s.
South County Outreach: Adopt-a-Family

Since its inception, South County Outreach has been linking generous community members with families in need of extra support during the holidays. This wonderful holiday tradition supports many struggling Orange County families by providing gifts and food for the holidays.
