With the 2023 year coming to an end, GeoVerra, one of Canada’s largest land surveying and geomatics firms, is sharing something they’re incredibly proud of as a team. Giving back to the communities they work in and charities close to their team members hearts is very important to the company. Across the country, from group volunteering, participating in walks/races, client Christmas gifts and personal involvement, the GeoVerra team did some amazing things to raise money and spread awareness. This is all thanks to their GV Gives Back program, which wouldn’t be a success without the involvement of their team members.
Every year GeoVerra allocates a budget to help their team give back through donations to the organizations they volunteer with. The goal of this this program is to encourage GV employees to be active in their communities in a positive way. Now that the program has been running a couple of years, they’re excited to expand the initiative to include group volunteering and once again, Christmas gifts for their client partners. Check out how they got involved and gave back over $30,000 (and counting) in 2023:
Client Christmas gifts: It’s a third year of forgoing travel mugs and tangible items and gifting their clients with something that allows them to make a difference. GeoVerra is pleased to be sending client partners Canada Helps gift card codes so they can allocate the funds to charities that mean the most to them.
Giving back to our communities:Â GV team members and regions got involved in their communities in a variety of way. Here is an overview of where they gave back through our employee sponsorship and donation program:
- General community support: $13,975
- Sports: $2,100
- Arts & Culture: $550
New group volunteering: With COVID restrictions lifted, GV social clubs established and people getting back into the community, 2023 was a great year to kick off a new initiative as part of their GV Gives Back program – company-paid team volunteer hours. They look forward to growing this initiative in 2024. Here’s where they volunteered as teams across the country:
- Brown Bagging for Kids
- Canadian Blood Services
- City of Fort St John Clean-up
- Edmonton Food Bank
- Ronald McDonald House Charities (Calgary)
- Ronald McDonald House Charities (Edmonton
- Ronald McDonald House Charities (Saskatoon)
Holiday Parties – they’re more than a fun and festive celebration: Local offices are encouraged to add a charity components to their holiday parties through donations, raffles and 50/50s. While these are still ongoing, GeoVerra looks forward to announcing the total in the New Year.
GeoVerra thanks their team members, clients and partners for all being a part of the GV Gives Back program this year. They’re pleased to be donating over $30,000 (and counting) to Canadian charities and organizations in 2023. It’s another thing that makes them proud to be GV.
