$500,000; Seek Volunteer Opportunities for Employee-Owners
Deluxe and the Deluxe Corporation Foundation today announced the
company’s latest effort to foster diversity and inclusion through a
new partnership with the National Urban League. Through initiatives
driven by the company’s more than 6,000 employee-owners, Deluxe is
delivering on its promise to invest time, talent, and financial
resources to improve inclusion, diversity and equity in the
communities it serves.
“In the spring and summer of 2020, our hometown of Minneapolis
became the national epicenter of racial injustice that is far too
prevalent across the country. Beyond emoting about the need for
change, we announced significant commitments to non-profits
supporting racial justice and equality,” said Barry McCarthy,
President and CEO of Deluxe. “The National Urban League and Deluxe
share a common commitment to community success, economic
empowerment, equality and social justice, making us natural
partners.”
The National Urban League, headquartered in New York City, has
90 affiliates serving 300 communities in 37 states and the District
of Columbia. Its mission is to help African Americans and others in
underserved communities achieve their highest true social parity,
economic self-reliance, power and civil rights.
The Deluxe Corporation Foundation is donating $500,000 and
working with the National Urban League to create targeted volunteer
opportunities nationally to leverage Deluxe employee-owners’
talents to support the mission.
“Partnering with the National Urban League is about our
long-term commitment to racial equality,” said Art Howard,
Executive Director of Employee Relations and Inclusion, Diversity
and Equity for Deluxe. “In order to make a substantial difference,
it is vital for companies like Deluxe to deeply understand, connect
and partner with community leaders advocating for change in our
communities. I know Deluxe will be a great partner for the National
Urban League.”
Deluxe delivers for shareholders by being “Champions for
Business so Communities Thrive.” The Deluxe Corporation Foundation
supports that purpose, focusing on long-term solutions that help
people, businesses and communities thrive and grow. Since 1954, the
Foundation has awarded more than $110 million to charitable
organizations. In every grant the Foundation awards, Deluxe seeks
to bring meaningful, lasting change to communities. Our grants have
empowered Americans to understand the basics of entrepreneurship
and help communities ease the burden during a time of crisis. When
the Deluxe Corporation Foundation joins a mission, its financial
support is the least valuable contribution. The Foundation also
brings time, talent and skills of 6,000 fellow Deluxers to drive
change. To learn more, go here.
