Hearts in Action
AXA XL has volunteering and charitable giving programs, designed to help colleagues support causes that matter most to them and to contribute to the needs of their communities. These include our VolunTree Heroes program which celebrates and recognizes colleagues who volunteer by planting one tree for every day of colleague volunteering, and our Matching Gifts program which offers colleagues the opportunity to apply for matched funds for their donations to the nonprofit organization(s) of their choice, up to a total of $800 per colleague per year. These are known as our “Hearts in Action” programs.
Global Day of Giving:
Our annual Global Day of Giving (GDoG) enables all AXA XL colleagues to spend a day donating time and skills to the communities in which we live and work. Projects vary widely, according to the passions of colleagues and the needs of our communities. They have included preserving historic sites, running educational activities for children, serving meals at homeless shelters, and painting and gardening for local community centers.
Since the inception of the GDoG in 2006, AXA XL colleagues have performed approximately 375,000 hours of community service for hundreds of non-profits worldwide.
Providing free legal services through legal pro bono clinics:
Since 2017, AXA XL Legal & Compliance colleagues have been assisting low-income individuals by volunteering in legal pro bono clinics in New York and London, saving these communities hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees.
Enabling regional charitable engagement:
Through 28 Regional Hearts in Action Committees made up of more than 230 employees, AXA XL colleagues are empowered to support the needs of their immediate communities. These committees are responsible for charitable giving at a local level, which includes grant giving, fundraising, awareness raising and donation drives.
The Regional Grant Program supports nonprofits with a focus on social inclusion, health and the environment, in areas where AXA XL operates. Please contact [email protected] with any queries.
