West Cary Group Launches WCG Gives to Amplify Community Impact
West Cary Group Launches WCG Gives for Community Empowerment
In an inspiring move towards community engagement, West Cary Group has initiated a unique program named WCG Gives. This initiative is a grassroots effort that unites the strength of employees, partners, and community-oriented objectives. Originating from the agency's pivot towards charitable giving amid challenging times, WCG Gives symbolizes the firm’s commitment to making a substantial difference.
Growth of Community Engagement Initiatives
Since the inception of their efforts in 2020, the community impact of West Cary Group has been remarkable. By 2024, their dedicated employees had facilitated an impressive 522 donations directly aimed at regional nonprofits, raising about $27,000 for worthy causes. The momentum generated through these contributions showcases the firm’s commitment to supporting local communities.
Community Giving Fund Launch
In the same spirit, the agency recently created a Giving Fund that allows individual employees to support local causes through seamless payroll deductions. This initiative saw employees raise nearly $11,000 by the spring of 2025, reflecting the growing enthusiasm for charitable giving within the organization. It highlights how dedicated efforts can lead to meaningful outcomes.
WCG Gives Unveils New Volunteer Programs
According to Kasey Brown, board chair of WCG Gives and senior account director, the program is an embodiment of the firm’s identity. “We are a tight-knit community, over 100 strong across multiple states, united in making a positive change,” Brown stated. The initiative is anchored on three pivotal areas: Education & Mentorship, Community Fellowship, and Environmental Conservation.
Innovative Volunteer Benefits
WCG Gives has recently introduced a “Time Off for Good” benefit, providing employees with four paid hours each year to engage in community service activities of their choosing. This innovative incentive not only encourages participation but also helps employees connect deeply with the causes they are passionate about. Additionally, West Cary Group will organize volunteer events both on-site and off-site each quarter, enhancing their engagement efforts.
Expanded Donation Options Through New Partnerships
The partnership with the United Way has also expanded the ways employees can contribute to the Giving Fund. Options now include donations via Venmo and credit cards, which has led to employee participation doubling in just one day after the new methods were introduced. West Cary Group leadership has shown strong support for the Giving Fund, ensuring its sustainability by seeding initial contributions.
Cultural Roots of Volunteering
As Moses Foster, president and CEO of West Cary Group, points out, “We have cultivated a rare culture where giving is not enforced but inspired.” The culture of the company encourages employees to take initiative in their community service efforts. The firm benefits from an environment where employees feel motivated to contribute positively, and that is a considerable asset in today’s corporate landscape.
A Look at Charities Supported
With WCG Gives, West Cary Group has already contributed resources and time to an impressive list of 23 charities. These include well-respected organizations such as Feed More, NextUp RVA, Habitat for Humanity, Meals on Wheels, and Maggie Walker Community Land Trust, among others. The contributions reflect the firm's dedication to supporting local communities and fostering sustainable change.
