THE WORKDAY FOUNDATION
Creating career pathways that elevate human potential
The ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Foundation strives to positively impact communities and support employees through charitable contributions that create meaningful employment, break the cycle of poverty and transform lives.
¡°Talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not. The postcode where you¡¯re from shouldn¡¯t determine where you end up. Together, we can help address the opportunity gap and create a robust economy that elevates human potential.¡±??
