Donors :: Who Donates?
Since 1996 with the beginning of our volunteer alliance, HSBC - North America has been providing essential resources to local JA offices in the U.S. JA’s relationship with the organization goes back an amazing sixty-six years, beginning with a $25 grant to JA of Chicago in 1942.
By providing a stipend for 2,405 of its employees who volunteered to deliver JA programs in 2007, local JA operations were able to reach nearly 50,000 young people with its business and economic education curricula.
More than five percent of HSBC’s employees are involved in Junior Achievement across the country! HSBC is the largest corporate provider of JA volunteers in the U.S. Additionally, substantial financial resources are made available through HSBC’s phenomenal bowling efforts on behalf of Junior Achievement as well as HSBC’s support of other JA special events and programs. During 2007, HSBC contributed more than $3 million to JA operations around the world.

HSBC Receives President’s Volunteer Service Award: The President’s Volunteer Service Gold Award was presented to HSBC for the commitment of HSBC employees of more than 15,000 volunteer hours in 2007. This is the second year that HSBC has been recognized, having received the Silver Award last year.
In 2006, Junior Achievement became an official certifying organization for the President’s Volunteer Service Award. Junior Achievement may now bestow this degree of honor to corporations with a U.S. presence, that provide volunteers to teach JA programs anywhere in the world. This award was created in 2003 by the President’s Council on Service and Civic Participation for individuals of all ages who contribute a significant amount of time to volunteer service.
