What's New

As a global financial services company, Genworth is dedicated to helping people secure their financial lives, families and futures by delivering on our promises. One of our most important promises is our commitment to making a difference in the communities where our employees live and work. Each day, our charitable giving and volunteer efforts help make a long-term impact on addressing our key areas of philanthropic focus: education, basic needs and support for seniors.

We keep our promises to local communities in three ways:

Global Month of Service

June 2011

Genworth celebrated its annual Global Month of Service by taking the time to get out into the community and make a difference in 27 locations around the world. In June, over 50% of Genworth’s 6,500 employees volunteered in various projects serving Genworth’s three primary outreach areas: education, basic needs and support for seniors.

Europe

For the ten European locations that participated, 282 volunteers served 18 organizations. In addition, five fundraisers and four in-kind donation drives were held. Projects included visiting and playing with children in Greece’s Hatzikyriakio Child Care Institution, purchasing groceries and toiletries for children at a local orphanage in Poland, and collecting in-kind donations of clothing and food for SOS Children’s Villages in Portugal.

Lynchburg, Virginia

At Noah’s Ark Child Care Center, our Lynchburg, Virginia volunteers helped provide a field day and playground improvements for 35 children ages one to four. Lynchburg volunteers also participated in a United Way Day of Caring event where Genworth employees helped build a house for Habitat for Humanity, created a pizza garden, painted rooms at Mary Bethune Academy, and participated in making crafts with seniors at an adult care center.
