Companywide Charitable Giving Program Supports Diverse Nonprofit Organizations Across Cinnaire’s Footprint
Cinnaire Cares, our companywide staff-funded charitable giving program, was developed by our employees through the Staff Engagement Committee to support our mission-driven partners in the communities where we live, work and serve. Our employees contribute twice monthly to a fund established to support staff nominated charities. Since inception, Cinnaire Cares has raised more than $113,400 to support our nonprofit partners.
We are pleased to announce the most recent Cinnaire Cares donations! With Cinnaire’s matching contribution, a total of $23,406 was raised during this funding round, making this our largest round to date. Each organization will receive $3,901 to support their mission. From providing emergency housing and support services, to STEM and literacy enrichment programs for youth, the Cinnaire Cares recipients are again a diverse group of organizations and missions.
