The Standard Charitable Foundation, Standard Insurance Company
(“The Standard”), and its employees and retirees together
contributed more than $2.4 million across the nation last year to
nonprofits. Giving focused on nonprofit organizations that share
the company’s emphasis on education, disability and empowerment,
cultural development and healthy communities.
Through the company’s matching gift program, employees and
retirees donated to nearly 1,000 nonprofits in communities where
employees and customers of The Standard live and work. The
Standard’s employees also volunteered thousands of hours in their
communities on company-donated time.
“In 2012, employees of The Standard donated their time,
expertise and money to nonprofit organizations that help children
learn and grow, feed and house those who face barriers to success,
improve our environment and support the arts,” said Greg Ness,
chairman, president and CEO of The Standard.
The Standard’s 2012 Report to the Community outlines the
company’s philanthropic giving and highlights The Standard’s
employee volunteer and sustainability efforts. Below are a few
highlights from the report:
The Standard’s Volunteer Expo, held annually in Portland
and Cincinnati, connects regional nonprofit organizations with
employees and other members of the community, helping them find
volunteer opportunities that match their skills and interests.
The Standard supported Junior Achievement’s Finance Park,
a mobile, mini-city with 16 ‘businesses’ created to provide a
relevant, high-impact personal financial literacy program for
middle and high school students. Charitable support from The
Standard ensures this resource travels across Oregon and Southwest
Washington giving young people the opportunity to learn about
protecting their income with insurance and other tools.
A 2009 fire destroyed Dougy Center, a national nonprofit
organization that provides help for children, teens, young adults
and their families who are grieving a death. A $25,000 grant from
The Standard helped the Center to rebuild and reopen.
