giving back

We hope to make the world a better place by giving back to the communities in which we live and work.

2015 Giving Back Day with Shanghai QingCongquan Training Center for Children with Special Needs

For more than ten years, the American Securities Foundation has supported two programs to further encourage charitable contributions from colleagues: (i) the Giving Back Grant, which allows each administrative colleague to direct a donation to charities of their choice, and (ii) the Matching Grant Program, in which American Securities matches donations made by all colleagues up to an annual amount.
