Global Charity Auctions
From San Francisco to Amsterdam and everywhere in between, our teams came together to raise much-needed funds to support several local charities, including Safe At Home and Hot Bread Kitchen in New York, Because We Carry in Amsterdam, Food Bank Canada in Toronto, Junior Achievement of Northern California, and Compass Family Service in San Francisco.
Green Volunteering
In partnership with Boston Cares, our teams created garden boxes at a local school. In Amsterdam, our teams helped clean up wetlands, while in San Francisco we explored CO2 removal solutions with our local Climate Leadership Portfolio partners, Charm Industrial and Patch.
Uniting Communities
Volunteering can mean many things to our colleagues. In Detroit, Mumbai, and Madrid this means putting together kits to support cold care for the unhoused, and spending time with the elderly and kids. In the UK, our team also hosted students from upReach, a social mobility charity.
Feeding Many
Our colleagues from Sydney, New York, and Toronto partnered with charity kitchens and food banks to help prepare hot meals, participate in food rescue missions, and pack and sort non-perishable food to help those experiencing food insecurity.
A Cleaner Future
From cleaning the ocean on a kayak in Sydney to picking up trash in forests near Warsaw and in Toronto city, every effort has been made by our teams to ensure cleaner and greener environments near and far.
Stride For A Cause
In Stockholm, London, and Paris our teams came together to raise funds and much-needed awareness about blood donation, autism, and cardiology research to support the charities Blodomploppet, Ambitious About Autism, and ASS ADICARE respectively.
Making A Difference
Our Boston team came together for several initiatives such as creating 100 survivor art kits for the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center (BARCC), creating garden boxes at James Otis elementary school in partnership with Boston Cares, and participating in the annual Winter Walk to raise money for homeless services in the city. In Detroit, our teams made blankets for children in hospitals.
Germany’s Charitable Initiatives
In Germany, which has one of our most active programs, our team spent their annual volunteering day at an animal farm. Throughout the year, they also worked with Wikimedia Deutschland in their mission to promote free knowledge, partnered with ChildFund to support children and families, and supported Kiron Open Higher Education to help refugees.
