Wells Fargo EGS – Philippines has a long-term association with the schools and institutions working in tandem with partner NGOs. “We have a robust annual calendar of community programs. What makes Fundraising Week unique is the fact that it gets our team members involved in a fun way for a social cause. We initiated this event in 2013, with the objective of raising money for the government school that we support throughout the year,” said Vishnupriya Saksena, head of corporate sustainability.

Over the years, the Fundraising Week has become an extremely popular event with the atmosphere turning into a festival of sorts with a lot of energy and enthusiasm shown by the entire organization. The effort was part of the Fundraising Week from May 4-8, which Wells Fargo has marked since 2013. “Our objective is to get our team members involved in a fun way for a social cause. Driven by the spirit to give for a cause that is close to our hearts, our team members come up with very creative ways of generating funds. While it makes significant impact on the communities we live in, the week-long event also strengthens the commitment of our team members to give back to the community we are part of,” Saksena added.

Growing in magnitude over the years, the 2014 Fundraising Week saw team members collecting more than Php 100,000. This year, services offered by team members included selling of pre-loved items, song requests, and culinary efforts. The funds raised were handed over to the partner NGOs and were used for various activities like library improvements, construction of bookshelves and classroom screens.

While volunteerism encourages team member participation, the Fundraising Week also has an enhanced value proposition of being a platform to showcase skills that a team member wouldn’t be able to otherwise showcase in the day-to-day role. The Fundraising Week is also an important part of Wells Fargo’s commitment to volunteerism. Globally, more than 64,000 Wells Fargo team members volunteered more than 1.7 million hours in 2014, and the company has organized Wells Fargo Volunteer Chapters in 10 countries around the world.
