The theme of World Food Day 2021 is "our actions are our future". World Food Day celebrates the global progress made toward zero hunger and highlights the world’s commitment to ending world hunger by 2030. Celebrated annually on 16 October, World Food Day promotes global awareness and action for those who suffer from hunger, and to highlight the need to ensure healthy diets for all. Collective action across 150 countries is what makes World Food Day one of the most celebrated days of the United Nations’ calendar. Hundreds of events and outreach activities bring together governments, businesses, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), the media, and general public. They promote worldwide awareness and action for those who suffer from hunger and for the need to ensure healthy diets for all. #WorldFoodDay 2021 will be marked a second time while countries around the world deal with the widespread effects of the global COVID-19 pandemic. It’s a time to look into the future we need to build together. Bright Funds created the 2021 World Food Day Fund so that you can support the work of great organizations addressing hunger in worldwide. #WorldFoodDay #FoodHeroes fao.org/world-food-day

The W.H.O. has declared COVID-19 a pandemic and public health emergency of international concern. Bright Funds Foundation has established the 2020 Coronavirus Food Access Fund to support vulnerable populations in need of food access assistance during this time of crisis. Through a single donation to the Fund, you can support multiple organizations' initiatives to provide short-term and long-term response and recovery. Given the ever-changing nature of this pandemic and widespread impact, the composition of the nonprofits in this Fund may evolve.

While the holidays are generally considered to be the most joyful time of year, many experience the financial and mental challenges that come with the holiday season. Loneliness, isolation, and financial strain are just a few of the issues that impact millions of people each year. The following organizations are working to help those in need, from assistance with food and meal access, to helping families obtain holiday essentials, to reaching out to those who may be feeling lonely this holiday season, and beyond. Your donation to this Fund will help these organizations in their efforts to create a safe and happy holiday season for all, and to provide hope for those who are struggling.

As the Coronavirus pandemic continues to spread across the globe the needs of our communities have become clear. In honor of GiveTuesdayNow on May 5th, 2020 Bright Funds has put together the Coronavirus GivingTuesdayNow Fund. This Fund represents nonprofits addressing key issue areas identified by the Center for Disaster Philanthropy: Medical Needs, Mental Health, Children and Youth, Income and Basic Needs and Social Justice. Through a single donation to the Fund, you can support multiple organizations' initiatives to provide short-term and long-term response and recovery. Given the ever-changing nature of this pandemic and widespread impact, the composition of the nonprofits in this Fund will evolve.

One of the causes that our employees are most passionate about is food insecurity. Our Nourishing Neighbors initiative, started in 2014, enhances the grassroots efforts of our employees through a unified, company-wide strategy. This fund supports organizations that our employees support through our Nourishing Neighbors initiative.

Feeding America provides meals to more than 40 million people each year through a network of 200 food banks and 60,000 food pantries and meal programs. 44 million people face hunger in the U.S. — including more than 13 million children. Just $1 can help provide at least 10 meals to kids, families and individuals facing hunger.

Across the country, people like you and I are stuck at home, feeling both helpless and the need to help. Social distancing is working, but we can do more. In the coming weeks nearly every American will receive a stimulus check to help pay rent, shop for food, and support local businesses during the COVID19 pandemic. However, some of us are in stable financial situations and don't need that money now. We have the opportunity to redirect these funds in order to support members of our community who may not be so fortunate. If you can, please pledge your check (or part of it) in order to provide food, supplies, and services to those who need it most. Your donation will support the COVID19 relief efforts led by Feeding America. Stay home, make an impact. Join the HomeTeam.

Every great challenge is an opportunity to show strength. This fund is an opportunity for the US Private Sector EUC team to step up and show their support for important organizations doing great work for Coronavirus Response and Recovery.

For the past 16 years Cisco has partnered with Second Harvest of Silicon Valley to tackle food insecurity during the Virtual Race to End Hunger. And each year, we have won the race, outraising teams from the Bay Area in donations. While we’re proud of our track record, we're aiming our sights even higher to make a difference globally. That’s why we’ve created a fund to fight hunger globally. Donate to the below organizations through this fund or find a food pantry or hunger relief organization closer to you.

The Challenge You may have seen in May when RAF Financial Analysts Roland Camacho and Dylan Johnston out of the Edmond, Oklahoma office led a virtual helping hands event for the West Territory. Well, they’re doing it again and challenging all of North America to join in on the challenge. We will be walking the week of September 14th and your daily steps Monday through Friday that week will count towards an individual and team competition. The Goals We want to feel connected while we are still apart, we want to raise money for a good cause and we are encouraging everyone to stay active. The Charity We will be raising money for Feeding America and the American Red Cross, in light of all the recent natural disasters. If you are joining the challenge from outside of U.S., and would like to add additional charities to support North America, please let us know. Our recommendation is that each person donates a penny per step on their daily average – that means that if you walk the recommended 10,000 steps daily, we’d ask you donate $100 to the fund with a maximum recommendation of $100, so don’t worry if you blow past 10,000 steps. Also, if you’d like to join the step challenge but aren’t ready to donate, that is fine as well. Tracking Progress There are many ways to track your daily steps via the Health app on your Smartphone, Smartwatch or download the StepUp Pedometer from your app store. In order to track your steps for the challenge, we ask that you can email or text your daily steps to Carollann Romo. (Carollann.romo@raboag.com, 661-904-7558) We will have updates for the team challenges throughout the week. Currently the teams are broke out to Wholesale, DLL, Pacific Territory RAF/RDS, West Territory RAF/RDS, East Territory RAF/RDS, Central Territory RAF/RDS, Vendor Finance and RDS. You can choose your team or let us know if we missed a group. As you’re walking, please take a picture too and we’ll use them to put together a recap video. The Competition Each of the top three individuals with the most steps will receive $100 in their Bright Funds account to donate to a charity of their choice, this is thanks to the Health and Wellness Committee. We will also be tracking the team winners. There are two team winners, one will be based on the total number of steps and another will be on the average steps per person.

THIS FUND IS CLOSED. For the current step challenge use this link: https://rabobank.brightfunds.org/funds/north-america-can-you-step-up-to-the-challenge Hey West Territory and friends – It’s time to get up and move for a step challenge for a great cause. Dylan Johnston and Roland Camacho from the Mid Plains region are challenging you and your region to commit to donating money toward Feeding America based on your average daily steps next week! Steps: Let’s see which region and person gets the most steps! Total steps for the five days will be counted for regions and individuals. Watch this video to hear about the challenge! https://youtu.be/euh3gMx-Pkw Donation: Will you commit to donating a penny for each step you take*? We’d like to challenge you to do just that for your average daily steps April 27 through May 1st. (*We’re only asking you to donate how much you feel comfortable with a maximum commitment request of $100 based on the goal to meet a daily average of 10,000 steps) How it will work: • Each day send your total steps to Carollann.Romo@raboag.com or text to 661-904-7558. You can use your built-in step tracker on your phone, a smartwatch, or there’s a free app called StepUp that gives a nice summary of your daily steps. You can send them the morning after you get all your daily steps or you can wait and send the full week by 5pm Pacific Time on Monday May 4th. • At any point between now and the end of Friday, May 1st, please donate to Feeding America via this Bright Funds link to get Rabo matching*: https://rabobank.brightfunds.org/funds/west-territory-step-challenge (*Rabo matches up to $500 per person per year) • We’d also like to see you on your walk, so send a video or photo to Carollann Romo 661-904-7558 for a wrap up video for the intranet and social media. Tell us why you’re walking, show us where you’re walking or challenge another region. Be sure to hold your phone horizontal while shooting video. Who can join: Anyone that sits or works in or with the West Territory! Just choose a region for your steps to count towards if you don’t belong to one specific one. When: This starts Monday April 27 and ends Friday May 1st. Deadline to submit your steps is Monday May 4th at 5pm Pacific time. We hope this is a fun way to stay connected, stay active, give back to our communities and feed our competitive spirits! Our goal is to donate $3,000 to Feeding America as a territory.

One South Feeding America Fund

Welcome to the 2H VMC on AWS giving Campaign. Our objective is to focus on giving back to our communities through service hours, fund raising, and events when possible.

Did you know that 37 million people in the U.S. struggle with hunger? Due to the pandemic, high unemployment and other factors, this number is estimated to reach 54 million people, that is 1 in 6 people and possibly 18 million children. You can help with your donation! Feeding America® delivers more than 4 billion meals each year to people facing hunger in communities across the country and they are continuing to meet the increased need brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. $1 helps provide 10 meals to those who struggle with hunger in the U.S. AND VMware WILL MATCH, MAKING YOUR DONATION HAVE DOUBLE THE IMPACT! You can also volunteer at a Feeding America food bank or pantry in your community. Find your nearest location here: https://www.feedingamerica.org/find-your-local-foodbank

Collection of charities and organizations picked by the Women at Squarespace employee group that offer relief to people in need during the COVID-19 outbreak.

The Commercial West & Central Service Sales team is raising funds to support several organizations that will make an impact for the holidays. The Cisco holiday spirit is alive and well with our team! Together, we can make an impact this holiday and leverage the power of Cisco matching.

It’s happening in every single community in the country. Thousands of people have lost their jobs due to the pandemic, and for those people already living paycheck to paycheck, they now have to make the choice between food, bills or medicine. The people affected might be your co-workers, family, friends, and neighbors. But people in our communities like the elderly, the disabled and children are also affected as are the people that serve our communities. Covid19 doesn’t discriminate when it comes to who gets infected, but it also doesn’t discriminate as far as who gets affected economically even if they don’t contract the virus. We’re thankful our paychecks haven’t stopped. We’re thankful we still have a job. And we want to make sure our communities don’t go hungry. The Feeding America network is the largest hunger-relief organization in the United States including in times of disasters and national emergencies. All eligible donations made by VMware employees to this fund will be matched. Whether it’s a dollar, 5 dollars, 100, or a 1,000, please donate. Every bit helps, and a monetary donation or online fundraiser is one of the most efficient and effective ways to support your local food bank in a crisis situation. But don’t let it stop with you. Pass the plate and challenge your colleagues, family and friends to also join in donating by tagging them and challenging them and even having them record a video of themselves passing the plate. The most vulnerable people in our communities need us now more than ever, so let’s be EPIC, and do what we can to help. It’s your turn now! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvN14uM_6Kw&feature=youtu.be

DevCX has established this fundraiser to support nonprofit organizations for various causes around the world. We recognize the opportunity we have to give to others and as a team wish to make a greater impact. Together we can make a difference, within our companies, our communities, and around the world.

RICC has joined Team Feed to help end hunger in America. No one should go without a meal, yet Feeding America estimates over 50 million people in America will face hunger this year. We created this fundraiser to help provide these much needed meals to our neighbors through the Feeding America network of food banks and we're asking you to join us in our cause. Every $1 donated helps provide at least 10 meals. It only takes a little to make a big difference. Will you help in my fight to end hunger? As a team i would like to challenge us to donate $2500 and the amazing part is CHC will match the donation amount per person!!!

The months of December and January are often referred to as the "Giving Season". As the CX Central Operations and Workforce and Staffing Management Team, we will be supporting these Food Drive initiatives in order to assist families and others in need to ensure they have an enjoyable holiday season. Feeding America (AMER), Second Harvest Japan (APJC) and Krakow Food Bank (EMEAR) provide meals and other necessities to those in need. We encourage you to donate to help us reach our goal. All initiatives are listed in Cisco's matching efforts through Bright Funds. All funds donated will be distrubted evenly across all three non-profit organizations. ​

A fund started by Morningstar colleagues who regularly work remotely from their homes (even in non-COVID times). From our various locations, we are joining forces to provide food to those in need -- locally, nationally, globally. We hope you'll join us from your corner of the world!

This year has been challenging for so many, but we can all come together to help put food on the table for families.

As we end another fantastic quarter, we start Q2 with excitement for the holiday season, time with family and friends, and the opportunity to give back to those in need. Individually and collectively, we can all participate in making a huge impact in the communities and organizations we care about this holiday season. To make this real in our countdown to shutdown, we are kicking off Q2 with a giving campaign called “Care & Share” and we’d love you to share how you care! Donating to this CSM Care & Share Bright Fund is one way you can participate in the Care & Share Campaign. You can also donate your time or money to other non-profits. We want to encourage you to give back to your community in a way that is right to you.

Donations to the fund will be evenly distributed across all three organizations (Feeding America, One Warm Coat & Meals on Wheels). This fund is a part of the Mercari's Season of Gratitude 2021 - A Warm and Well-Fed Winter campaign, feel free to access the campaign via this link (https://mercari.brightfunds.org/campaigns/776) or on the Bright Funds homepage.

This Festival of Lights please join us in sharing happiness and lighting up the futures of those in need. In the spirit of Cisco's giving back, ICON is honored to organize the Be the Light fundraiser. Your donation will be split between the organizations listed here to help bring hope and kindness to others while staying safe. Let's open our hearts and wallets and donate to these organizations. Your generosity will have a positive impact on people who are in need, as well as the larger community.

In wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the most vulnerable in our communities are even more at risk. With school closures, students who are on free and reduced breakfast and lunch programs lack access to these meals and families who are forced out of work may need additional support at home. We recognize as employees watch this health crisis unfold, they are looking for ways to help. This fund includes national partners who are addressing these needs in our communities. All gifts made to this fund (through the campaign option) will be matched 100% by Campbell through June 30th.

This year's Atlantic Hurricane Season is set to be one of the most active on record, with approximately 15 named storms and 2-3 major hurricanes. In addition, devastating earthquakes, catastrophic flooding and continued active western wildfires have put more people in need then ever before. Campbell's major disaster partners are responding to all these humanitarian crises and are on the ground bringing relief and recovery services to those impacted.

Giving back is a core value of Cisco’s culture and as part of the CSM + Meraki Marketing | 2022 Season of Giving Campaign it’s time for us all to take a pause and think about how we want to contribute to causes that are close to our heart. And there are many ways for us to give whether it’s time or though monetary means. Some may feel stretched thin and are unable to volunteer time so we encourage you to consider tapping into Cisco Bright Funds donation program. We’ve put together this team Bright Funds site to make donating a little easier. If this fund isn’t resonating then we encourage you to find a non-profit that supports what matters most to you. As Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “Since you get more joy out of giving joy to others, you should put a good deal of thought into the happiness that you are able to give.” Lets collectively contribute in some way this season and sprinkle a little more happiness to the world. Happy Holidays!

In the spirit of the holiday giving season, we’ve put together a CSM Holiday Give Back challenge. The holiday season encourages our traditions of giving thanks and sharing our blessings with friends and family, and with strangers in need. Despite being in the midst of some of the most complex times in our history, the Cisco holiday spirit is alive and well. We wouldn’t be where we are today if giving back wasn’t part of who we are. People like you and me can have huge lasting impacts on communities and organizations we give to. Together, we can make an impact this holiday and leverage the power of Cisco matching. We've selected the Family Giving Tree, The Heart of the Valley Services for Seniors, Mercy Corps, and Feeding America. Click the links below to find out more information about the amazing work these organizations do in our community.
