We offer unique employee-led community grant opportunities in our largest US offices. This grant program is designed so employees drive and manage the philanthropic process. Local employees gather with community partners to discuss needs and select a focus area for the grant, then review and discuss all the grant responses. From there, three organizations are invited to our office to present their program, and all employees vote to award $15000 in grants and participate in volunteer service. Through this important program, we bring philanthropy into the workplace and encourage all employees to build strong relationships with community organizations.
