The Volunteer Expo is a pillar of The Standard's Employee Giving Campaign. This year-round initiative encourages employees to donate to support schools and nonprofit organizations.
The Standard and our parent organization Meiji Yasuda double match employee contributions. In 2024, we raised almost $6 million for 2,739 organizations during the Employee Giving Campaign.
