Corporate Citizenship
The McElroy Gives Back philanthropy program incorporates three methods of giving:
Company Cash Gifts
We donate a cash gift every month to one charity. Categories that these charities represent include health, women and children, environment, housing and community, human services relief, veterans, culture and literacy, special needs and animal protection. Each month the selected charity is profiled in McElroy’s monthly e-newsletter E-Buzz. While some are household names, we hear great feedback that we’re occasionally introducing readers to remarkable, but less well-known charities.
Company Matching Funds
McElroy is matching employee donations to United Way, up to the fund’s cap each month. The United Way Capital Area supports over 40 community partner agencies financially and helps connect volunteers with projects. Additional company matching funds may be made available for extraordinary situations, such as the 2005 hurricane relief effort, on a case by case basis.
In-kind Company Services, Volunteer Support
McElroy will continue to support selected non-profits through in-kind donations of services. McElroy recently provided several Spanish language documents to the Identity Theft Resource Center as they work to improve their Spanish language materials. Past donations of language services have included the United Way and the Austin Children’s Shelter.
McElroy also actively encourages group employee volunteerism, such as the recent Literacy Coalition Spelling Bee and the Salvation Army’s Christmas Angel Program.
