The best way to celebrate turning 40 is by doing what you love with the people that matter most to you. For a company that works every day on powering prosperity for those who need it most, that means using our resources to create a meaningful impact in underserved communities around the world.

Our first ever ‘Small Business Big Impact Day’ held on February 15, is dedicated to uniting employees for the purpose of strengthening and giving back to local communities. We purchased $1 million-worth of items directly from local small businesses that will be donated to local nonprofits. More than 10,000 employees will gather at 17 offices around the world to sort, package, and deliver these products.

As a kickoff to our 40th anniversary, this initiative is being led by Intuit QuickBooks and Mailchimp to help support small business customers and nonprofit organizations in their communities. Small Business Big Impact Day demonstrates our longest-standing core value of We Care and Give Back, which encourages employees to take an active role in improving their local communities. Intuit employees that work remotely will also have the opportunity to participate in Small Business Big Impact Day through a virtual experience.

By the Numbers:

$1M USD worth of items purchased directly from local small businesses
Involvement from 10,000 employees across 17 Intuit sites in the Americas, Australia, Europe, India, Israel, and Singapore
200 small businesses benefited from Intuit’s product purchases of items to include in hygiene kits, pantry food bags, and blankets
Forty (40) nonprofits received small business product donations from Intuit, aligning to each nonprofits greatest needs
An estimated 10,000 volunteer hours will be tallied across all sites

“Supporting small businesses and communities across the globe where we live and work is a core part of our DNA,” said Alex Chriss, executive vice president and general manager of Intuit’s Small Business and Self-Employed Group. “Engaging our employees in a way that reminds them of who we serve keeps us inspired and grounded in our mission. We believe the time and energy we focus on strengthening our communities can be a true catalyst for change.”

We know our work isn’t done, but by investing in people—both inside Intuit and beyond our walls—we believe we can all prosper.
