The Boston Business Journal has named Santander US as an honoree in its annual 2024 Corporate Citizenship Awards, a recognition of the region’s top corporate charitable contributors. The list showcases companies that prioritize giving back to the communities in which they live, work, and serve.
Last year, Santander US announced its Community Plan, a $13.6 billion three-year commitment on behalf of Santander’s businesses across the United States, which includes $100 million in charitable giving and 100,000 employee volunteer hours. In the first year of the Community Plan, Santander US made important progress toward meeting its targets, including $33.3 million in charitable giving, and more than 68,000 volunteer hours.
For this year’s recognition, the Boston Business Journal named 96 companies that reported at least $100,000 in cash contributions to Massachusetts-based charities last year. Together, these companies have given more than $362 million in cash contributions to nonprofit organizations in 2023.
