Corporate Giving

The train tracks built over the Alps were laid before there was even a train that could make the trip. Likewise, drvn is revamping our corporate giving programs to stay ahead of our growing domestic and international footprint. This includes all our internal charitable programs, as well as external partnerships and sponsorship opportunities. Consolidating these will make our efforts more focused and in turn, more effective.

A key shift in our corporate giving strategy is to focus on a single area of community support. And that charitable focus - we have chosen food insecurity for the most at-risk demographics - the elderly and children. drvn’s Penny-Per-Mile program will donate one cent for each mile driven in the broad market area (metropolitan service area) we are serving. Our new policy is to donate these funds to at least one local food bank and at least one national food agency (e.g. NoKidHungry and Meals-on-Wheels).

Ever received an ambiguous ‘admin fee’ on an invoice? Where does all that money go? At drvn, we translate that ‘admin fee’ into a ‘green fee’. Then use those proceeds to purchase carbon credits from companies and projects around the world, which are engaged in carbon capture for reuse or carbon sequestering.

drvn’s strategy is that our corporate giving should equal our market presence. In the next ten years, we will have an impact proportional to our market share on all our domestic and international markets. How are we planning to achieve this? By fostering relationships with the trusted and grassroots organizations everywhere we serve.
