Charitable Institutions Receive Grant Aid of EUR 10,000 from Commission
A Small Change, A Big Impact: swb AG's Charitable Contributions
Once again, swb AG employees have proven that small changes can make a significant difference. This year, they've donated a total of 10,000 euros to five non-profit organizations in Bremen and Bremerhaven through the Restcent donation program.
The recipients of this year's donations were personally presented with their allocations by swb board member Gunnar Geise, along with Ulrike Behrens and Bettina Lehmkuhl, representatives of the Restcent donation team and the swb AG works council. The chosen organizations for 20XX are:
- Frauenzimmer - a safe haven for women in need, Bremen
- Deutsche Seemannsmission Hannover e.V., Bremerhaven station
- Autismus Bremen e.V.
- Lebenschance für Kinder e.V., Bremen
- Stiftung Aktion Hilfe für Kinder, Bremen
Doubling the Power of Giving
According to Bettina Lehmkuhl, it's the increments from participating swb employees that accumulate to provide considerable support for meaningful projects in the region. Throughout the year, these cent contributions are gathered, and at the end of the year, the board doubles the total amount collected. In 20XX, the Restcent donation reached 10,000 euros. The decisions on which organizations receive the funds are made by the dedicated Restcent donation team, who have been engaged in this initiative since 2015.
"The Restcent donation is a fantastic example of people's committed engagement being seamlessly integrated into day-to-day work life," emphasizes Gunnar Geise, swb board member. "I truly appreciate every employee whose consistent participation makes it possible to support social projects." The program was initiated by the swb works council in 2015, and since 2016, the first cent amounts have been channeled into the donation box.
