Employee Volunteer Grant Program
The Employee Volunteer Grant Program will resume taking applications in November 2012.
The Employee Volunteer Grant Program supports HCR ManorCare employees who make a difference in their communities by contributing their time and talents to local non-profit organizations. Through this program, employees who volunteer may apply for cash grants of $500 to support the non-profit organizations they assist.
The Volunteer Grant Program was designed to encourage and recognize active community participation in all HCR ManorCare employees. Since its inception in 2002, this popular program has helped spread the spirit of service that defines the HCR ManorCare family to communities and worthy causes throughout the nation.
Eligibility
To be eligible for a grant, an applicant must be a full- or part-time HCR ManorCare employee with at least one year of continuous company service. The applicant must also currently serve as an active, non-compensated volunteer with the non-profit organization for whose benefit he or she is applying for a grant.
Any non-profit institution or organization may be eligible if it is recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3), and as a public charity under section 509(a) of the IRS Code.
