Established in 1998, the Community Partnership Program oversees the philanthropic activities of Thomson West. West directs its charitable activities toward three focus areas:
- Educating the future work force
- Providing arts and cultural experiences to the community
- Developing and strengthening youth, families, and communities
West's commitment to the community includes:
Employee Giving Campaign (Corporate Drives)
West sponsors corporate drives which offer employees the opportunity to join together and give back to those who need assistance in the communities where we work and live.
Community Grants and In-Kind Contributions
West awards charitable cash grants and in-kind contributions to nonprofit organizations whose mission falls within our focus areas and who have the support and involvement of our employees.
Matching Gifts
West enhances the impact of employee giving by providing company matching funds to select qualified nonprofit organizations and accredited educational institutions supported by employees.
Volunteer Programs
West is dedicated to making a lasting impact on local and global communities by providing employees with an array of volunteer opportunities. In addition, West encourages employees to volunteer through paid time off for volunteering.
