November 13, 2024 – In honor of National Philanthropy Day, Haworth has been named Outstanding Corporation by the West Michigan Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP). This award honors an organization that demonstrates an outstanding commitment to philanthropy, engagement and volunteerism through financial support, innovation, encouragement and motivation of others.
Haworth is dedicated to making a difference in the communities where employees live and work through values-driven business practices and philanthropic endeavors. One of Haworth’s core values, a focus on making the world better, is brought to life through the company’s corporate giving program called Haworth Helps. This program provides both financial contributions and volunteerism to several community organizations, such as the Outdoor Discovery Network and Lakeshore Habitat for Humanity. Annually, Haworth’s North American workforce is offered 22,000 paid volunteer hours.
During this year’s AFP West Michigan’s National Philanthropy Day, individuals, foundations, corporate philanthropists, fundraising volunteers and professional fundraisers will be recognized for their outstanding achievements.
