Publix Super Markets again leads the pack as the most generous workplace in the Suncoast region (DeSoto, Hillsborough, Manatee, Pinellas and Sarasota counties), followed by Raymond James Financial and Duke Energy, which made the biggest jump from last year to capture the #3 spot. In addition to its year-round efforts to support United Way through campaigning and employee volunteer activities, Duke Energy secured its spot on the list with a $1 million investment to support community empowerment at the United Way Resource Center in south St. Petersburg’s Campbell Park.

“The core of United Way is that each and every person has the ability to contribute to community change. Our donors give of their time and resources to whatever extent they are able, and collectively make a huge, positive impact across the region,” said Suzanne McCormick, CEO of United Way Suncoast. “These workplaces have donated generously to our programs, and equally importantly, they have fostered a culture of caring among employees. We couldn’t make a difference as an organization without the support of each and every individual donor and workplace that gives.”

The Most Generous Workplaces list is determined by companies’ philanthropic contributions (monetary and in-kind) to and through United Way Suncoast during the previous fiscal year.

Combined, the top ten organizations and their employees generously invested $16.6 million to help local communities through United Way Suncoast-led and supported programs, a significant increase from last year’s contribution total of $11 million.

“The core of United Way is that each and every person has the ability to contribute to community change. Our donors give of their time and resources to whatever extent they are able, and collectively make a huge, positive impact across the region,” said Suzanne McCormick, CEO of United Way Suncoast. “These workplaces have donated generously to our programs, and equally importantly, they have fostered a culture of caring among employees. We couldn’t make a difference as an organization without the support of each and every individual donor that gives.”

Each of the organizations has incorporated philanthropy into its business culture in a uniquely personal way. For example, Northern Trust has chosen United Way as its philanthropic partner for decades. The company has a long-standing corporate commitment to making a positive impact in the communities in which it operates, particularly in the Sarasota area. In addition to its fundraising campaign, Northern Trust supports the community by giving employees the opportunity to participate in the annual Day of Caring volunteer event in Sarasota.

“Northern Trust is a shining example of how companies, their employees and non-profits can work together to make our neighborhoods even better places to live,” added McCormick.

“For more than 80 years, the partnership between Northern Trust and United Way has strengthened and evolved to meet the growing needs of our communities,” said Paul G. Hudson, market leader and senior managing director with Northern Trust. “United Way is the only organization endorsed and promoted to our more than 9,000 U.S. Northern Trust employees in the greater Sarasota area and across the country.”

Combined, the top 100 organizations in the Suncoast region (DeSoto, Hillsborough, Manatee, Pinellas and Sarasota counties) and their employees generously invested $16.6 million to help local communities through United Way Suncoast-led and supported programs, a significant increase from last year’s contribution total of $11 million.
