The Hiscox USA Foundation selects one employee-nominated organization each year to receive a $10,000 grant. The employee must actively volunteer for the organization, and submit a nomination form describing the organization’s impact.
Recent recipients of this grant include:
Bundles of Joy
Bundles of Joy collects new and “nearly new” items through grassroots community drives and corporate donations. Donations are sorted, bundled and delivered to disadvantaged children through their network of social service agencies, shelters, hospitals and school partners. Hiscox employee Stephanie Stoddard spends time with the charity sorting collections and creating ‘bundles’ to be delivered to a shelter location in White Plains as needed.
Ronald McDonald House Charities
The Ronald McDonald House provides a home away from home for families with children in nearby hospitals. Families who live more than 50 miles from the hospital can stay for free. All meals are donated and served by volunteers. Hiscox employee Meagan Pind assists with tasks such as disinfecting toys, storing pantry items, and helping with check-ins. She has also volunteered at numerous fundraising events throughout the years.
Matching Gifts
The Hiscox Foundation USA also supports those organizations that are important to Hiscox employees with a matching gift program.
