Philanthropy Landscape

Corporate giving to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, through employee resource groups such as Toshiba's VALOR group, follows the foundation's Fallen First Responder Home Program model of paying off mortgages for families of fallen officers and firefighters. Toshiba's five Employee Resource Groups, including VALOR, WIN, BUILT, South Asian Community, and AccessAbility Network, show how the company channels employee-directed giving into specific causes.
