The Standard matches those contributions up to $5,000 per employee. Last year, employees raised $5.9 million (including company matching funds), affecting more than 2,200 organizations.

The nonprofit organizations featured in the Virtual Volunteer Expo have an invaluable impact on our communities, and they count on the public's support and involvement to achieve their missions. At The Standard, we're proud to host the annual Volunteer Expo. Despite the fact that we can’t be together in person — we know that when nonprofits and community members connect, everyone wins.
