Hurricane Relief & Recovery Efforts at McGraw-Hill

Hurricane Relief & Recovery Efforts at McGraw-Hill
Posted By: How May I Help You NC on November 26, 2012


Posted on November 26, 2012 by Vanessa Garzon

More than 5,000 McGraw-Hill employees in the New York metro area and New Jersey were impacted by Hurricane Sandy. In the wake of the storm, McGraw-Hill employees reached out to each other via email, text, phone, and social media — first to close friends at work, then to colleagues across departments and businesses — to share information and survival stories alike.



Who had lost power? Was everyone safe?

And the next question, on the lips of so many: what can we do to help? Almost immediately, our Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability department responded with information about an emergency corporate matching campaign, volunteer opportunities for McGraw-Hill employees, plans for food and coat drives, and information about how to help in our communities.

McGraw-Hill launched a Special Disaster Relief Matching Gift Program. This program matches employee contributions one-for-one, up to the US equivalent of $2,000, and is open to all employees globally. The corporation is also honoring contributions that were made by employees to other eligible charitable organizations that are engaged in relief efforts. McGraw-Hill’ s corporate match of all contributions will be directed to the American Red Cross and their relief and recovery efforts for Hurricane Sandy.
