Newfield Foundation: Giving Back to Our Communities

In 2001, we formed the Newfield Foundation to play an important role in enhancing the quality of life in communities in which we are active. Newfield has contributed well over $10 million to the Foundation. The Company continues to make monthly investments to the Foundation, which will allow us to fund future worthy causes into the future. The organizations receiving these allocations were selected by an employee committee. These included donations to community services; environmental foundations; health/welfare; and cultural arts.

Employees are key in helping the Foundation direct its gifts to worthy causes in specific geographic areas where Newfield operates," said Terry W. Rathert, senior vice president and chief financial officer. "I encourage you to learn more about our Foundation and just how active Newfield is in helping worthy causes. If you are involved with a charitable organization and interested in funding, be sure to bring that organization to the attention of a foundation committee member. You also can access our foundation website from the Internet.

Matching Gifts Program and Volunteerism: Dollars Helping Causes

Besides the Newfield Foundation, our employees can help their community through our Matching Gifts Program, which began in 1998. The Company matches dollar-for-dollar up to $2,500 of total annual contributions per participant. Some of the organizations receiving contributions include: The National MS Society; Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Greater Houston; The American Red Cross and the United Way of the Texas Gulf Coast.

Employee Volunteers

Both the Matching Gifts Program and the Newfield Foundation are supplemented by the Company's strong employee volunteer efforts.
