In 2017, Great-West Financial® and Empower Retirement introduced ACT — Associates. Community. Together. The community impact program empowers our associates to support causes that are closest to their hearts through volunteer service and financial contributions. We amplify their impact by matching donations, funding volunteer time and supporting collaborative philanthropy. Together, we are making a meaningful impact in the communities where we live and work.
Associates across the country are using our ACT program to make a difference in their local communities.
Teams of associates work to maximize their efforts by fundraising for and participating in charitable activities.
We double down on the volunteer time and money our associates donate, enabling a greater impact.
Groups of committed associates plan on- and off-site activities and donation drives to help those in need.
Empowered through paid volunteer time, our dedicated associates make the world a better place.
In alignment with our NFL team sponsorships, we partner with local nonprofits in these communities.
