¿ªÔÆÌåÓýƽ̨ Volunteer Grant - ¿ªÔÆÌåÓýƽ̨ Cares
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýƽ̨ gives generously to many nonprofits and organizations—especially those that support science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education.

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýƽ̨ is committed to supporting the communities in which we operate and the wellbeing of our associates. In turn, ¿ªÔÆÌåÓýƽ̨ recognizes that volunteering positively impacts our neighbors and our associates.

To further encourage our U.S.-based associates to volunteer, and recognize them for their hard work and commitment, ¿ªÔÆÌåÓýƽ̨ introduced an Associate Volunteer Grant Program in 2021. Following achievement of certain milestones of volunteer hours, associates directed a grant to the nonprofit they support. For example, after 25 hours of volunteer work by a ¿ªÔÆÌåÓýƽ̨ associate, the nonprofit would receive $250, and for 50 hours of volunteering, the organization would receive $500. In 2021, we allocated $25,000 to support this initiative. In addition, in 2021, ¿ªÔÆÌåÓýƽ̨ associates logged approximately 6,031 volunteer hours, which more than doubled its total compared to the prior year.
