Responsive Giving
Crisis Response
We provide organizations with emergency funding to support relief and recovery efforts for humanitarian crises and natural disasters around the world. Our crisis response scorecard, designed in collaboration with our business units, determines an appropriate response for each crisis, which can include the provision of funds or other material support. Additionally, we offer a double company match for donations made by employees to select crisis response campaigns and empower our people to vote and decide on the deployment of any remaining crisis funds at the end of each calendar year.
Community Giving
In addition to supporting our focus areas, we allocate a portion of funding to address the needs of the communities where we live and work. In partnership with our DE&I Business Resource Groups, our Regional Advisory Councils work with local offices and others to get resources in the hands of those making a difference closest to home.
Matching Gifts / Dollars for Doers
Through these programs, we support causes that are near and dear to our people. Matching Gifts grant employees a company match for personal donations made to eligible nonprofits. Dollars for Doers gives a contribution to an approved nonprofit when an employee volunteers 40 hours or more.
