SEATTLE/CHICAGO—Boeing Co said on July 3 it would give $100 million over multiple years to local governments and non-profit organizations to help families and communities affected by the deadly crashes of its 737 MAX planes in Indonesia and Ethiopia.

The move is a step toward repairing the image of the world’s largest planemaker, which has been severely dented by the crashes and its sometimes clumsy response to them.
