New Relic Day of Service 2025

We recently concluded our fourth annual Global Impact Challenge, a company-wide initiative designed to foster employee engagement and drive positive community impact. This year's results exceeded expectations, with more than 50% of our global workforce participating and donating nearly $70,000 to causes they care about. These efforts demonstrate the power of aligning employee purpose with meaningful action.

The challenge itself was built around two key actions: volunteering and giving. First, we encouraged employees to dedicate time on our annual Global Day of Service by volunteering with a local organization or participating in a company-sponsored project. Second, we empowered employees to donate to the causes that matter most to them, leveraging a surprise amount of Giving Rewards. This two-pronged approach allowed for a diverse range of participation methods, ensuring that everyone could contribute in a way that resonated with their personal values and interests.

Employees engaged in 60+ volunteer projects in over 8 countries, including the United States, Spain, India, and Japan, reflecting a wide range of community needs and employee interests. These efforts included both in-person and virtual projects. 

A few highlights include:

In Portland, employees spent the day at Free Geek, an organization with a goal to repurpose technology and discover sustainable solutions while providing educational resources, helping in various departments.

Impact and Implications:

The success of this year's Global Impact Challenge underscores the importance of integrating community impact into a company's culture. By providing employees with opportunities to volunteer and give back, we foster a sense of shared purpose, enhance team cohesion, and cultivate a more engaged workforce. The positive impact extends beyond our employees, reaching local communities through impactful volunteer projects and financial contributions to vital causes. We're already looking forward to next year's initiative.
