Charitable Giving
Giving back is part of who we are. Inspired by our long history of philanthropy, we use our time, talents and resources to support people and organizations that create lasting, positive impact in the communities we call home.
Funding Priorities
Due to the large number of requests we receive each year, the following charitable-giving guidelines are meant to help organizations and individuals understand our philanthropic priorities and parameters. The funding priorities also help us manage requests and make allocations in a thoughtful manner.
With some exceptions, our philanthropic allocations focus on programs, events and initiatives that support the following two categories.
Inclusion, Diversity, Equity + Action
What we fund: Resources that serve youth, education and social services throughout our communities, and initiatives aimed at promoting unbiased thinking in marketing and advertising through greater exposure, awareness and empathy.
Health + Wellbeing
What we fund: Community initiatives and resources that improve the wellbeing of individuals at all life stages.
Funding Limitations
Our ability to fund charitable requests is limited. Consideration is given first to clients, then to organizations our employees volunteer for and support. Based on these criteria, we reserve the right to deny requests without further explanation.
Unfortunately, we receive far more requests than we can support. If a request is denied, it’s not because we consider the cause unworthy or unimportant. It may be outside of our giving guidelines or focus areas, or that all charitable funds for the year have already been allocated.
Submit a Request
To ensure we’re supporting you to the best of our abilities, please submit your request six months prior to the event or project date, if possible.
