Window of Giving How We Give

From The Heart

Window of Giving encourages and supports giving to causes that are important to our teammates and serve the greater good. Window of Giving serves the communities in which we do business through gifts in kind, community partnerships, 3:1 corporate matching, and paid volunteer time.

Door of Opportunity helps youth bridge the financial gap to secondary education. In coordination with the Tim Snow Foundation, the Door of Opportunity program has served over 120 young adults to achieve their dreams of going on with their education after high school.

For each Renewal by Andersen window installed, $6 supports the Window of Giving and Door of Opportunity Programs.

There are six ways that Window of Giving facilitates our giving back to the communities in which we live and work:

GIFTS IN KIND

These are individual teammate requests. They come through in many forms and we gladly try and support teammates’ personal passions to support charitable organizations.

COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS

In each Esler location, we partner with a non-profit organization for 1-3 Years. We support these organizations with annual donations and look for other ways to help them with their particular mission.

MATCHING PROGRAM

The Matching program enables our team members to give a financial donation to a non-profit organization with matching financial support from Window of Giving. Matching gifts have a $25 minimum. Window of Giving matches all donations at a 3:1 ratio, not to exceed $1,000 per teammate annually.

VOLUNTEER PROGRAM

The Window of Giving Program Manager sets up and facilitates giving of time by coordinating group or team volunteer initiatives. By providing our teammates with eight hours of paid volunteer time to participate in group initiatives or individual efforts, they are able to serve non-profits of their choice.

ALL ESLER EVENTS

Teammate Engagement has always been the heart of what we do, and in 2021, we’re committing to 4 different All Esler events. For these events, we partner with national organizations like February’s campaign, Rock the Red, with the American Heart Association. In the Fall we’ll Sock It to Cancer and support the American Cancer Society. We will honor and support our veterans in November. And finally, we will again have the ever so popular YouGive raffle for the entire month of December.

DOOR OF OPPORTUNITY

Our mission is to provide support to those excited, passionate and deserving students in the form of financial aid in the hopes that they can move forward in achieving their goals of advanced learning.
