What makes Paycor’s culture so dynamic? We think it comes down to our most important guiding principles: “do the right thing,” and “take care of each other.” From Paycor It Forward Days to our Community Partners program that’s raised more than $1.4 million, Paycor associates live to make a difference.
We’re excited to announce Paycor is doubling down on community support! Our Paycor Community Impact Fund represents a significant evolution in our giving. For the first time, Paycor associates were given the opportunity to nominate local 501(c)(3) organizations to receive a one-time grant up to $20,000.
The fund proudly supports organizations that speak to one of our key impact areas:
- Improve educations and workforce readiness
- Encourage health and provide human service
- Stimulate a healthy environment and conservation
- Enable the arts and culture
For our first bi-annual grant cycle, Paycor will donate $66,000 across 10 organizations. Get to know these nonprofits and how the grants will help them make a difference:
