Many companies give to their communities. We’re proud to be a company that leaps at the chance.
We take our community relationships every bit as seriously as our client relationships, going the extra mile to ensure that our efforts make a real difference in the communities where we live and work around the world.

We believe in our responsibility as a giving company, encouraging and supporting our associates’ commitment to their communities and neighborhoods. And we’re proud that our associates are willing to give so readily of their time and resources.
Put simply, our relationship to the communities we serve matters a great deal. We harbor deep respect for the work of all our community partners and we pledge our commitment to helping ensure that they fulfill their worthy missions.
Community Partnerships
Amazing things happen when people have adequate support and resources. We provide donations, volunteers, pro-bono and in-kind work, and thought leadership via community partnerships with not-for-profit organizations providing direct services.
Granting
We provide grants through both corporate granting and the Hewitt Associates Foundation. Corporate grants underwrite various activities for our not-for-profit partners. Our Hewitt Associates Foundation supports associate-nominated not-for-profit organizations in the U.S. that provide essential services to financially disadvantaged people. The Foundation is established and sustained by voluntary associate donations and a company contribution.
Sweat Equity
We support our associates’ involvement in their communities. Our “Hewitt Time for Hewitt Concerns” program gives associates voluntary time off each year to give back to their communities.
Thought Leadership
Our management and leaders serve on various boards to provide thought leadership across diverse issues, including workforce readiness, health management, financial security, and change management.
In-Kind Donations and Pro-Bono Services
We provide pro-bono human resources consulting (including compensation studies, retention strategies, and competency definitions) to not-for-profit organizations that could not otherwise afford them. We also make in-kind donations, which have included call centers, printing, real estate space, and other services.
Matching Gifts Program
Established in memory of founder Ted Hewitt, we match U.S. associate contributions up to $500 to secondary and collegiate education institutions.
