The 2020 Goodies People Power Award, Adobe
Originally published by Benevity
Adobe was recognized for empowering its 21,000 global employees to create change and work together to help address some of the world’s most pressing issues. The company sets the stage for people-powered Goodness by granting each new person they hire $100 to give to a cause of their choice, and facilitates employee-led Action Teams across its many global locations to keep people engaged. In one year alone, Adobe employees gave an estimated $1.13 million worth of their time and talent, through skills-based volunteering and non-profit board service. To amplify its people’s impact, Adobe also offers donation matching and volunteer grants, which resulted in $9.2 million in matching grants globally, and gives employees a voice in causes that receive grant funding in local communities. In 2019, People Magazine ranked Adobe number three in its “50 Companies that Care” list.
