Our hearts go out to all those affected by the five devastating wildfires burning in Los Angeles County. More than 150,000 people are under evacuation orders – a number that continues to climb as wildfires blaze amid strong winds gusting up to 100 mph. It is the most destructive fire in LA history and the need is urgent. The fastest way to help LA wildfire relief efforts: support these nonprofits who are responding to the crisis and providing emergency relief including safe shelter, food, medical assistance and essential supplies.

As many individuals feel less engaged in the corporate world, workplace giving programs — especially those with employer matches — are helping them align their values with their jobs. This #GivingSeason, we’re seeing younger employees take the lead in donating to causes they care about, with employer matches amplifying their impact. Thanks to Maria Gracia Santillana at Forbes for spotlighting this trend and to the companies fostering purpose-driven workplaces.
