Financial, Inc. (NYSE: VOYA), today announced that the Florida
First Coast Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals
named the company its Outstanding Corporation in honor of National
Philanthropy Day.
National Philanthropy Day is an event that publicly recognizes
donors, volunteers and organizations whose gifts of time, expertise
and resources contribute significantly to the community. Voya
Financial was nominated by Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC)
of Jacksonville.
"Voya Financial is honored to be recognized for our
philanthropic efforts in Florida,"
said Rod Martin, chairman and
CEO, Voya. "A key facet of Voya's culture is our compassion and
commitment to building strong and vibrant communities. One of the
ways we do that is by leveraging the talent and passion of our
employees, who dedicate their time to important organizations like
Ronald McDonald House Charities."
Voya Financial encourages employee volunteerism by providing
full-time employees with 40 hours of paid volunteer time each year
and 20 hours of paid volunteer time for part-time employees. In
addition, when an employee volunteers 50 hours or more of their
personal time to an eligible nonprofit, Voya Foundation donates
$500 to that organization. Voya
Foundation will also match an employee's donation to an eligible
nonprofit, dollar for dollar, up to $5,000 every year.
"Since 2011, Voya Financial has supported Ronald McDonald
Charities of Jacksonville through
countless acts of volunteerism, corporate giving and their employee
matching gift program," said Diane
Boyle, executive director, RMHC of Jacksonville. "They are very deserving of this
honor, and we are so pleased that they were selected to receive
this prestigious award."
Voya's commitment to community is also demonstrated through the
company's executive nonprofit board placement program, which gives
leaders the opportunity to pursue interests that they're passionate
about, while driving positive change in their communities.
Nan Ferrara, Voya EVP,
Operations and Continuous Improvement, joined the RMHC of
Jacksonville board of directors
earlier this year.

directors," continued Diane. "The passion and enthusiasm she has
for our mission and for Voya Financial's social responsibility
pillars have helped her keep the Board's focus on always serving,
