The Elemental Community Investment Program
What started with a few ad hoc activities grew into ongoing relationships with a significant number of nonprofits. We added financial giving to support those nonprofits, piloted employee matching, supported our partners in other mutually-beneficial ways - we had ourselves a holistic program. A program that became a central piece of the culture and the employee experience.
The Elemental Community Investment Program didn’t just get employees out volunteering together. It engaged us, as people, in our community, created bonds within and across teams, and inspired new passions and creative ways of thinking.
Growing pains
The program was successful, but far from easy to operate. It took significant time and effort to figure out what was out there – let alone establish the connections, coordinate events, run campaigns, and track the impact over time.
