The holiday season brings with it a spirit of generosity, and at Whitridge Associates, we believe in the power of giving back and supporting causes that make a meaningful impact on our communities. As you consider where to direct your giving, here's a glimpse into the causes we stand behind—and an invitation for you to join us in making a difference.
1. Cancer and Disease Research
We advocate for targeted contributions to cancer and disease research. Whether you resonate with broader causes like the Jimmy Fund and St. Jude or prefer to focus on specific diseases like cystic fibrosis, there's a cause for everyone.
Whitridge Associates donates to the Jimmy Fund at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, where every dollar contributes to groundbreaking cancer research and compassionate patient care. Their end-of-year matching campaign is turning every $1 becomes $2, thanks to a generous benefactor.
2. Educational Support
Education opens doors to brighter futures, and there are myriad ways to support this cause. From contributing to specific schools and classroom projects (e.g. DonorsChoose) to empowering organizations like Teach for America, the possibilities are endless.
At Whitridge Associates, we stand with Best Buddies, an organization creating opportunities for one-to-one friendships, integrated employment, and inclusive living for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Consider donating your time or resources to make a lasting impact. Click here for more info.
3. Veteran Support
Honoring and supporting our veterans is a responsibility we take to heart.
By contributing to organizations like the New England Center for Veterans, we want to help equip veterans facing or at risk of homelessness with the tools for economic self-sufficiency. Join us in providing a path for these veterans to achieve successful and dignified independent living. Click here for more info.
4. Do you like the company you work for?
Assess your feelings towards your company, co-workers, and managers. Evaluate your work-life balance, compensation and benefit packages (vs the rest of the industry), and company values. If dissatisfied, consider looking for a new job.
5. Animal Welfare
Animals deserve love and care, and supporting animal welfare organizations is a direct way to make a difference. Consider volunteering your time at local shelters or contributing to organizations like your local Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA).
At Whitridge Associates, we proudly support Massachusetts SPCA which focuses on protecting animals, preventing cruelty, and advancing their health and welfare. The MSPCA is currently running a matched donation campaign, where every $1 turns into $3, thanks to a generous benefactor.
Get Involved - Time and Money, Both Matter
We understand that not everyone may be in a position to donate financially, and that's okay! Your time and skills are valuable assets that can contribute to the causes you care about. Volunteer at local shelters, join charity boards, or help raise funds and awareness—every effort counts.
This holiday season, let's come together and make a collective impact. Whether through time, money, or both, let's support causes that resonate with us and make a positive difference in the world. Happy Giving
