New and expanded partnerships support the company’s $25 million commitment to honor, remember and serve.

BETHESDA, Md., Oct. 30, 2026 – Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) today announced new and expanded partnerships with organizations across the country as part of 25Forward, the company’s five-year, $25 million initiative commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.

Through partnerships with 11 organizations, 25Forward will safeguard stories and lessons of Sept. 11, as well as military service; serve survivors, first responders, veterans and military families; and sustain a spirit of service and preparedness by expanding opportunities for education, volunteerism and disaster readiness.

“These new partnerships mark an important next step for 25Forward and our commitment to those who serve and strengthen communities across the country,” said Stuart Holliday, Lockheed Martin senior vice president and chief public affairs officer. “By investing in these organizations, we are extending their reach and lasting impact.”
