Our long-standing partnership with Project C.U.R.E. has focused on improving access to medical equipment and services in our local Colorado community and in our Operators’ local communities. Royal Gold has made several economic contributions to Project C.U.R.E., including support toward employee volunteering over the years, which contributes to SDG 3, Good Health and Well-Being.
In addition to our Operator-related donations, Royal Gold has played a supportive role over the years by providing financial support to Project C.U.R.E. for the distribution of medical supplies at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, and donating box trucks and a forklift. In 2022, Royal Gold funded the purchase of a second box truck to collect medical supplies in Colorado for distribution to other countries.
In 2022, Denver office employees volunteered at the Denver Project C.U.R.E. warehouse sorting, organizing and packaging medical equipment and supplies. Every year, over 30,000 volunteers sort donated supplies, repair equipment and load semi-truck-sized containers from seven distribution centers across the U.S. Each week, Project C.U.R.E. delivers approximately three to five semi-truck-sized ocean containers packed with medical equipment and supplies that are desperately needed to save lives in hospitals and clinics in resource-limited countries. Royal Gold was honored not only to provide financial contributions but also to physically help the organization.
