NEW YORK, April 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Broadridge
Financial Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: BR), a global Fintech leader,
today announced a series of community relief efforts to support
those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, including a commitment of
$1.5 million to help communities and
individuals affected by the virus.
"Our thoughts go out to all those affected by the COVID-19
outbreak. We are thankful to all of the medical personnel, first
responders and other essential workers who are heroically
supporting us during these challenging times, and to our own
associates who are performing essential work on behalf of the
financial services industry," said Tim
Gokey, CEO of Broadridge. "Aiding the communities where we
work and live is a cornerstone of our culture, and I am so pleased
with actions taken by Broadridge and our associates to support
those impacted by the virus."
Broadridge will directly donate an initial $1 million to support charities and schools
globally across its 12 largest associate locations in the United States (California, Colorado, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Missouri, New
Jersey, New York and
Pennsylvania), Canada, India, Ireland and the United Kingdom.
The funds will focus on organizations targeting hunger relief
for vulnerable populations, critical medical services and
equipment, and school equipment needed for remote learning. These
include Pronto, which provides food to vulnerable
populations in Long Island,
New York and the Community Food
Bank of New Jersey, which
helps those at risk in multiple locations across the state.
In addition, Broadridge will invest up to $500,000 to double match associate donations to
COVID-19 causes of their choosing.
In keeping with its commitment to volunteering to enable better
financial lives, Broadridge is extending its volunteer program
activities to support virtual learning via student mock trade
shows, career coaching, mentoring, career advice, and more.
Broadridge employees are given paid volunteer time off days to
support eligible community involvement and will now have broader
opportunities to support virtual career experiences and remote
learning for students.
