Volunteering & giving

Community is everything

At Gen, we’re passionate about improving the communities in which we live and work. Inspired by a rich culture of giving we encourage teams to make a difference through a range of initiatives.

In November 2022, shaped by employee interests and feedback, we launched the Gen Giving Hub through Benevity — a digital platform which makes it easy to find volunteering, giving and educational opportunities.

We also continued our partnership with Visit.org, which offers meaningful volunteer and educational experiences that align with our values and social impact strategy.

$50

in Gen credits given to each employee to donate to their chosen charity.

~35%

of employees took part in Giving Hub activities during the first five months of launch.

Collectively, the Gen team is incredibly generous, and our culture of giving is at the core of how we engage with one another.

We participate in Matching Grants by giving one corporate dollar for every dollar donated by a Gen employee annually and regularly deliver 2:1 and 3:1 matching campaigns such as a 3:1 match during Giving Tuesday. In 2023, we increased our Dollars for Doers match to a $20 donation for every hour of volunteer service from an employee, and opened these donations to any qualified organization.
