United Way
Each year, we conduct a company-wide giving campaign, raising vital
funds for qualified nonprofit organizations in need of support. We're
proud to say that, through our partner, United Way Worldwide, our
employees support 800 local United Ways across the United States.
In the past decade, our employees, agents and retirees have pledged over
$75 million to United Way. The Nationwide Insurance Foundation matches
their contributions dollar for dollar.
Nationwide associates participate in United Way Days of Caring in large
numbers each year, too. Annually, about 5% of our associates spend a day
volunteering at United Way organizations across the country.
In recognition of our strong support for United Way, Nationwide was
named the 2008 United Way Spirit of America® Award winner.
Also receiving the award in 2000, Nationwide is only the third company to
earn the award twice.
"Together, with Nationwide's very generous support, United Way is
creating stronger communities and improving millions of lives every
year," said Brian Gallagher, United Way Worldwide president and CEO.
