Making an Impact Program

Uniting employee with employee, company to community, in the name of giving

Employee Volunteerism

We encourage everyone to channel his or her giving spirit. That’s why all employees are eligible to dedicate one workday each year to volunteering at a employee-chosen worthy initiative or signature partner opportunity.

Charitable Giving

From matching employee donations to tapping into signature partner relationships, we identify new ways to give back to communities across the country, every year.

Public Affairs

Because there are many ways to lend a hand, we go beyond traditional philanthropic efforts, supporting employee involvement in local schools, town boards and committees, as well as providing technology donations to community organizations.

Environmental Sustainability

From recycling programs and timed lights to ride sharing and responsible renovating, we are continually finding ways to conserve and protect our precious resources for future generations.

How We Are Making An Impact

We have forged relationships with many organizations that are making a positive impact.
