OppenheimerFunds Supports Dallas Community During Distribution Symposium

"For the past seven years, our employees have rolled up their sleeves to help support the cities that host our Distribution team conferences," said John McDonough, Head of Distribution and Marketing at OppenheimerFunds. "This year, we are proud to partner with Trusted World and Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Dallas to help advance the positive contributions they make in these local communities and beyond."

Trusted World is a global non-profit organization that provides free resources to both local and national organizations serving individuals and families in need. Attendees assisted in packing 4,000 meal kits that will be distributed to families recovering from recent natural disasters. In addition, the firm donated 16,000 meal kits to the organization.

"We are pleased to partner with OppenheimerFunds to help those affected by recent hurricanes," said Michael Garrett, CEO for Trusted World. "Each package assembled during the firm's Distribution Symposium can help families by providing them with six nutritionally complete meals."

Attendees also supported Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Dallas by assembling 60 Robotics IQ Kits for use in their Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics program. In addition, the firm donated 115 Robotics IQ Kits to the organization.

"Math literacy is a crucial skill for our Club members to develop throughout their education," said Charles English, President & CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Dallas. "The school supplies and robotics kits donated by OppenheimerFunds will help our clubs achieve this goal."

To further support math literacy, OppenheimerFunds also partnered with WorldVision to host a SchoolTools event where conference attendees filled 200 backpacks with school supplies and personalized notes. The backpacks were donated to Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Dallas.

The firm's corporate philanthropy and community initiatives include its 10,000 Kids by 2020 program, which aims to introduce 10,000 students to math literacy programs over the next few years through nonprofit partnerships and active employee volunteerism. The firm works closely with organizations including the National Museum of Mathematics, Boys & Girls Club, MATHSWORLDUK and Cross-Cultural Solutions, which provides impactful and sustainable service opportunities and skills based volunteer programs.
