JumpFly is a forward-thinking company that is committed to corporate social responsibility. Every quarter, JumpFly chooses a different charity that its employees can volunteer at or donate monetarily to help the cause. The company believes in the power of continuous and diverse impact, recognizing that there are a lot of deserving, important causes that deserve attention and support. Choosing a different charity each quarter allows the company to adapt its philanthropic efforts to address pressing issues and contribute meaningfully to different aspects of the community’s well-being.
This commitment reflects JumpFly’s core values, emphasizing inclusivity, empathy, and a sense of responsibility towards the broader community. JumpFly aims to be a positive force for change by actively engaging with a wide range of causes that align with its mission and values.
Further, JumpFly recognizes that societal challenges are multifaceted and ever-evolving. The charity selection also fosters employee engagement and collective purpose within the company. It encourages staff members to voluntarily participate in a variety of charitable activities and enables them to contribute to causes that resonate personally with them or even ones that they may have never heard of. It also has the added benefit of giving employees a chance to work with employees from different departments that they may not interact with on a daily basis, which fosters employee team building.
Some of the Charities that JumpFly Has Sponsored:
- The D300 Food Pantry serves the families and employees of Community Unit School District 300, the sixth-largest school district in the state of Illinois. As long as a family has a child 18 or under who lives in the D300 school district or is employed by the district, they qualify to shop weekly at the food pantry. JumpFly sponsored a monetary donation, conducted a food drive, and volunteered at the pantry.

When JumpFly employees hear that there is a need, they get right into charity mode to help those who are less fortunate than themselves. When JumpFly gives back, it creates a work community that loves to work together, whether it be a work day or a charity event. That warm feeling of giving back all year round keeps the team going!
