Corporate Social Responsibility
“Through PCL’s partnership with United Way of San Diego County, our employees have a way to give back to the causes they care about and to get more involved in their community on a professional and personal level. Together, we can help more children and families in San Diego thrive.”
— Lucas Mallory, San Diego Area Manager, PCL Construction
Engaging Corporate Partners
UWSD has long partnered with hundreds of local companies on workplace giving campaigns, employee volunteerism, and other social purpose activities. From workplace campaigns to volunteerism, UWSD aligns with corporate partners and leverages the time and talents of their workforce to transform lives in San Diego County. UWSD provides corporate partners ways to engage their employees and enhance company culture through an array of opportunities to get involved, such as volunteerism, virtual campaigns, and the Nonprofit Board Certification & Matching Program. UWSD’s Corporate Social Responsibility team provides businesses the chance for employees to discover how rewarding it is to give back to important social issues within our community.
Day of Service Events
As companies transitioned back to the office, many partners opted to get involved in community efforts through in-person Day of Service events. UWSD offers a wide range of traditional volunteerism events including group projects and team building exercises. In the 2021-2022 fiscal year, we are proud to say that 382 volunteers donated their time and talents to support seven local nonprofits throughout the year. Projects included filling and distributing backpacks with school supplies for students, and packing food for military families experiencing food insecurity.
Nonprofit Board Certification & Matching Program
UWSD partners with the Nonprofit Institute at the University of San Diego to train local leaders on nonprofit governance and how to give and derive the most value from nonprofit board service. Twenty-two aspiring and current board members participated in the program during the year.
