UBS Community Corps

At UBS, philanthropy and volunteering are key to our culture. Anchored by our annual Season of Service campaign, UBS Community Corps mobilizes employees across the Americas to support their communities year-round through hands-on and skills-based volunteering to make an impact. 2020 was no exception, with employees stepping to address the myriad of challenges communities faced as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. From packing meals at home to fight hunger, mentoring students virtually to prepare them for college and careers, and friendly phone calls with the elderly, to name a few ways, our employees took action while staying safe.

And UBS employees didn’t just lend their time and talent, .through our special COVID-19 relief campaign and traditional matching gifts program, collectively our employees donated over $7.6M to provide nonprofits critical support when it was needed most, including organizations such as Americares and the Feeding America network.
