An inside look at one of GE Vernova's offices, as seen on The Muse.
GE Vernova, Edward Jones, and The Hartford are just a few of the organizations that value philanthropy, and focus on supporting employees and their wider communities.

Many people want to support their communities or causes they care about, but don’t have the time, extra funds to donate, or even know where to start. Luckily, there are companies—like the ones on this list—that take the guesswork out of giving back through initiatives like their own foundations or charitable funds, employee volunteer programs, generous donation matching, and other initiatives that support the employees themselves and their wider communities.

The employers below come from a variety of industries, yet they are all dedicated to giving back to their communities. GE Vernova, for example, has a large focus on veteran initiatives. As they build their military hiring program, veteran employees act as internal advocates for veteran candidates, ensuring qualified candidates are prepared for the application process and understand how to translate their military experience to applicable skills required for their desired role. Through the GEVVN (GE Vernova Veterans Network), members ensure career guidance, support, and mentorship is available for all veteran employees and veteran allies. Each GEVVN hub gives back in a myriad of ways, through sending care packages to deployed troops, hosting in person events to honor the fallen, or providing donations to food banks for military families.

While searching for jobs at the below companies, make sure to check out their profiles on The Muse, which shed light on their missions and culture. You’ll also hear from real employees, such as Doug Aldrich, a Lead Technical Field Advisor, and Army National Guardsman whom GE Vernova supported as he attended the training required to become a UH-60 Black Hawk pilot. “That’s not an opportunity most employers would extend to their employees, but they supported me 100% with it.”

Keep reading to learn more about how these businesses are giving back to their communities and empowering employees—which could be you!—to make a difference.
