During their 2009 Employee Giving Campaign, Lake Oswego School District Foundation was among the top organizations receiving a donation from The Standard employees with a $20,464 gift. Employees at The Standard, an insurance company, pledged more than $675,000, benefiting nearly 700 local and national nonprofit organizations. After a dollar-for-dollar match by The Standard, the total from the 2009 campaign exceeded $1.3 million. |
| “The Employee Giving Campaign is an extension of what our business does every day: helping people when they need it most,” said J. Greg Ness, president and CEO of The Standard. |
| More than 900 current and retired employees pledged support during the campaign. In addition to pledges, proceeds from fundraising events such as a Variety Show and an on-line auction helped The Standard surpass an ambitious campaign goal of $550,000. The following are among the many organizations receiving support: Big Brothers Big Sisters Northwest, Oregon Food Bank, Mercy Corps, Oregon Humane Society, Lewis and Clark College and Oregon Public Broadcasting. |
