SUBARU AND GIFTS FOR GOOD LAUNCH NATIONAL CUSTOMER APPRECIATION PROGRAM TO SUPPORT NONPROFIT CAUSES

This program is integrated into the Love-Encore vehicle delivery experience, where new customers are invited back to the retailer 14-60 days after their purchase to meet with a dedicated expert who will answer any questions they have about their new Subaru. As of the program launch, Subaru has become Gifts for Good's largest corporate partner, fueling its ability to support dozens of mission-driven enterprises each year.

Troy Poston, Senior Vice President of Sales, Subaru of America, Inc.: "The commitment that Subaru has for supporting communities across the nation is unparalleled, and partnering with Gifts for Good is a natural extension of our brand and customer experience. We're embedding social impact into every step of the customer journey—whether through waste reduction, animal welfare initiatives, or supporting children in need. It's all part of our mission to do what's right for people and the planet, ensuring that Subaru is More Than a Car Company®, and that our retailers are More Than a Car Dealer."

As a Certified B Corporation, Gifts for Good curates customer appreciation gifts to create impact at every step of the customer experience. All gifts are ethically sourced from vetted social enterprises based in the United States, and each has a tangible impact, allowing the program's social and environmental value to be measured. Eco-friendly gift packaging allows Subaru customers to participate in a circular gifting model by returning their reusable gift packaging, which will be refurbished for future Love-Encore gifts—aligning with the Subaru Loves the Earth® initiative. Physical gifts are shipped from Gifts for Good's fulfillment center at Goodwill Southern California, contributing to job creation and workforce training for those transitioning out of homelessness, formerly incarcerated individuals, and others facing barriers to work.

Laura Hertz, CEO of Gifts for Good: "Subaru's partnership with Gifts for Good is setting a new benchmark for corporate giving and transforming customer appreciation gifts into an opportunity for impact. Enabling customers to choose a physical gift with a direct tie to a worthy cause or to give their gift value to a charity is a unique opportunity. In the first month of the program, we have already seen over 50% of Subaru customers choosing to give their gift value to charity, driving home that this aligns deeply with the values of the Subaru family."
