How we impact
Matching gifts
Through our Matching Gifts program, we double the impact of the charitable contributions made by our employees and financial professionals. In 2022, over $3.2 million was donated to nonprofit organization and charitable causes that our employees and financial professionals support. The programs are designed to help you magnify the impact of your own giving while leveraging your community activities and can be used to support branch-related community projects.
Disaster relief
Equitable is proud to be an annual contributing member of the American Red Cross Disaster Responder Program. Our annual support is an investment in disaster relief preparedness, ensuring the Red Cross can pre-position supplies, secure shelters, maintain vehicles and train volunteers nationwide, so they are always ready to respond when disaster strikes. In addition to our annual support of the Red Cross, employee and financial professionals’ personal donations to aid with disaster relief are also matched at a 1:1 allocation through Equitable Foundation’s Disaster Relief Matching Gifts Program.
Equitable in Action
At Equitable we want to be seen as a Force for Good with the communities in which we live and work. This is not just about giving our time to a great cause. It’s about building up our surrounding communities and recognizing we're stronger together – as a team, as a company and as a community. Equitable Foundation awards grants to support our non-profit partner organizations where volunteer events take place. In addition, in employee sites across the organization, we give our people time off to volunteer in their communities and support these organizations.Learn more about working with our team
