Top 50 Civic-Minded Companies Contribute $6.1 Billion in Resources and Mobilize 460,000 Employees to Serve Communities

New Data from Points of Light Shows Corporate Leaders Expanding Volunteering, Boosting Civic Engagement and Setting New Standards for Impact

ATLANTA, June 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Points of Light, a global leader in volunteering, today announced The Civic 50^® Honorees for 2025 and released its annual Benchmarking & Insights Report at the Points of Light Conference. According to new data, these 50 companies empowered over 460,000 employees to volunteer 6.5 million hours, contributed 6.25 times more in financial and in-kind resources than the average U.S. company^[1], and continue to innovate around mobilizing their workforce for good.

These companies aren't just giving more – they're setting new expectations for what community-minded businesses can achieve. Volunteering benefits communities, employees and businesses – boosting well-being, strengthening culture and fostering purpose. The Civic 50 honorees exemplify that service is essential, not extra.

Now in its 13^th year, The Civic 50 is the nation's leading corporate social impact recognition program. Honorees are selected based on assessment of employee volunteering, community investment, social impact strategy and performance measurement.

"This year's honorees prove that when companies embed purpose into their people, strategy and culture, results are extraordinary," said Jennifer Sirangelo, president and CEO of Points of Light. "Together, they show service isn't something companies just do – it's core to who they are."

"We're honored to be named one of America's most community-minded companies," said David Massaron, vice president of infrastructure and corporate citizenship at General Motors. "This recognition reflects our commitment to driving positive change through partnerships, employee engagement and sustainable business practices. At GM, we believe that building a stronger future starts with investing in the communities where we live and work."

These companies represent a rising standard of corporate citizenship. On average, they engaged 41 percent of employees in external volunteering – nearly double the U.S. median of 23 percent^[2]. Volunteer hours remain below pre-pandemic levels, but trends reveal a more embedded, sustainable approach to service.

Notably, 86 percent of honorees offer volunteer time off (VTO), up from 72 percent in 2019 – a signal companies are institutionalizing civic engagement as a core workplace value. The most supported causes were education (56 percent) and environment (50 percent), underscoring a focus on long-term community resilience.

Further, 92 percent of honorees offer skills-based or pro-bono volunteer opportunities, emphasizing alignment between employee talent and nonprofit needs. However, only 18 percent track the long-term impact of volunteer efforts – revealing a gap between intention and measurement, an opportunity for cross-sector innovation. This echoes a key finding from Points of Light's report, From Nice to Necessary: Unleashing the Impact of Volunteering Through Transformative Investment, which outlines challenges in measuring long-term impact and need for better infrastructure and data.

Together, The Civic 50 Honorees of 2025 are laying the groundwork for the next generation of corporate service – defined by strategy, accountability, innovation and measurable impact.

"Hasbro's 13^th year on The Civic 50 list reflects our belief in the power of play to create impact," said Theron Grim, vice president of EHS, sustainability and corporate citizenship at Hasbro.
