IWIF's Charitable Contributions Program is hard at work making
a difference in Maryland communities. Our program includes several
components - grants, matching donations, and volunteer hours for
our employees. Each year the program awards more than 75 grants
to Maryland based charitable organizations.
Two key organizations receiving grants each year are the
Maryland Charity Campaign and Kids'
Chance of Maryland. The Maryland Charity Campaign is the United
Way administered campaign for Maryland State agency employees. Each
year since 2000, IWIF has been proud to match dollar for dollar
the donations made by IWIF employees and this grant is the largest
awarded each year. IWIF is also a key contributor to the Kids' Chance
of Maryland organization. This organization provides educational
scholarships to children of seriously injured workers in the State
of Maryland.
In addition to grants, IWIF encourages all its employees to contribute
to charitable organizations; IWIF will then work to match all donations
made by employees according to the program guidelines. IWIF is very
proud of the generosity of all its employees.
Volunteerism is also a big part of IWIF's community commitment.
IWIF employees are given Volunteer Hours to participate in events
and programs in the community which include some of the following
activities: mentoring in the Big
Brothers Big Sisters 'Bigs in School' program, serving lunch
at a local outreach center, working with their child's school in
a PTA event, working on a Boy Scout or Girl Scout project, helping
at an overnight summer camp for children, etc.
Giving takes on many forms - donating canned goods throughout the
year for donation to local food banks, rolling up our sleeve at
one of the quarterly blood drives to support the Red Cross, participating
in the Holiday Adopt A Family project, collecting school supplies
each year as school begins, walking in the many Walk-A-Thons,
IWIF employees are passionate about giving and helping in their
Community.
