Supporting communities with Holiday Giving at Robert Half

The end of year marks Robert Half’s annual Holiday Giving program, a heartfelt initiative and collective effort from our employees in North America since 2006. Projects typically range from toy, food and clothing drives to bike-building events and adopt-a-family programs.

During this year’s holiday season, Robert Half Canada is focusing our fundraising for Ronald McDonald House Charities of Canada (RHMC). Throughout the year, we also support other national non-profits including the Royal Canadian Legion, the Canadian Mental Health Association, United Way Canada, the Canadian Red Cross, Enactus Canada and Indspire.

In Canada, 65 per cent of families live outside a city with a children's hospital. So, if a child gets sick, they have to travel for treatment. In 2023, the 16 Ronald McDonald Houses and 19 Ronald McDonald Family Rooms across Canada helped more than 26,000 families stay close to their sick child and the care they need.

RMHC’s 34 programs provide families with a sick child a home where they can sleep, share meals, do laundry, and connect with other families going through similar challenges, making their journey to recovery a little easier.

To help meet the needs of our communities during this holiday season, Robert Half has created a Round the World Challenge for our employees to give back through volunteering. This annual initiative provides Robert Half employees around the world a meaningful opportunity to support Make-A-Wish International by allowing them to volunteer in their local communities. All employee volunteer hours will transfer to a $15 per hour donation from Robert Half to Make A Wish.

Outisde Make A Wish, Robert Half employees can take advantage of our Matching Gifts program to maximize the impact of their donations, fundraising and volunteer time. We provide a 1:1 match for all employee donations up to $1,500 and fundraising efforts and grants of $15 per volunteer hour to eligible charities.

Robert Half’s Matching Gifts program and our annual Holiday Giving program are just two examples of how we strive to foster a company culture that supports the communities where our employees live, work and learn.
