Able Community Social Responsibility, Diversity, and Governance (SDG) program: The most satisfied employees feel they are making a difference. At Able Community, we want to make sure that our sponsor company employees act as responsible citizens and have opportunities to get involved in supporting causes that are important to them. We encourage community members and employees to support SDG programs that work in our key philanthropy pillars — Humanitarian Endeavors, Science, Mental Health, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM), and Giving Back to Communities.
We believe that the most satisfied employees are those who feel like they are making a difference. At Able Community SDG for Community Engagement, we want to make sure that our volunteers and members act as responsible citizens and have opportunities to get involved in supporting causes that are important to them. We encourage our volunteers to support organizations that work in our key philanthropy pillars — Food for Humanity with Care (FoodHC), minority youth mental health awareness and resources, job skills guidance and resources for minority families, Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM), humanitarian endeavors, and giving back to communities. Through our volunteer time off program, employees can take up to 24 hours per calendar year to volunteer for causes they care about and want to support. To increase employee participation, in FY24, we launched a Volunteer Grant program, “Dollars for Doers,” which offers a volunteer grant of $20 an hour (up to $200) to employees who volunteer three hours or more. This initiative encourages employees to volunteer their time and rewards their efforts with additional funds that can then be donated to an eligible nonprofit organization. Our Global Company Match program was launched in FY23 and enables employees to donate to over 450 eligible charitable organizations that align with the company's philanthropy pillars — a number that has grown over time. Able Community partner companies will match employee donations to eligible charitable organizations up to USD 500 (or the equivalent in each country) per employee per calendar year. All full-time and part-time partner companies’ employees and interns, regardless of years of service, seniority, or location, are eligible to participate. In FY24, we established a Philanthropy Committee, which meets quarterly with site leads across the United States and Canada. The committee oversees our volunteer time off and company match activities, helps promote the program, and drives participation across the company globally.

Able Community Engagement Projects across the world
Minority Communities Nonprofits Engagement
Minority communities’ nonprofit engagement is fundamental to our family’s solution program success and influences our decisions. Able Community approaches this by engaging a wide range of internal and external partners and families to deeply understand their priorities and key concerns. Their inputs, in turn, help inform our sustainability strategy.
