Local Hubs For Global Support

There’s more than one way to ensure our communities thrive. At Enterprise Holdings, we have a mission to support our neighborhoods in as many ways as we can. By using our local lens to address even the biggest social challenges, we’re able to maximize our impact: through funding crucial programs, encouraging a culture of volunteerism among our teams and empowering employees to identify the areas of giving most important to them.

How We Make A Difference

My Purpose. My Time.

We build time for care into our calendars—offering employees paid time off each year to volunteer for and support the causes closest to their hearts. 

Employee-Identified Grants

By empowering our employees to identify organizations in their communities that they are actively involved with, we’re broadening our areas of impact. Spouses/domestic partners of employees can also participate. 

Enterprise Holdings Foundation

Every year since 1982, our Foundation has targeted the most pressing issues in communities across the globe. To date, our Foundation has donated more than half a billion dollars to those causes.

Foundation FAQs

The Enterprise Holdings Foundation was established by founder Jack C. Taylor to give back to the communities in which our partners and employees live and work. The Foundation provides charitable support to worthwhile, non-profit initiatives that are actively supported by Enterprise Holdings employees and their spouses/domestic partners. Contributions are made to thousands of local communities across the globe where the organization operates. 

The Foundation’s philanthropic and community relations mission is to ensure that we maintain our leadership position as a valued and responsible corporate citizen by enhancing the quality of life in our communities consistent with the organization’s business goals and objectives. The Foundation provides grants to qualified tax-exempt 501(c)(3) public charities in the United States, registered charities in Canada, registered and exempt charities in the United Kingdom, charities on the DZI list in Germany and charities with a tax eligibility certificate in France and Spain. The Foundation supports relief projects or causes that Enterprise Holdings deems important as they arise, such as natural disasters that affect our employees and partners. 

The Foundation considers the support of schools (other than higher education), athletic teams, and churches, synagogues or other houses of worship a personal responsibility, and therefore discourages requests for Foundation support of these types of organizations.  In addition, the Foundation does not consider support for the following: individuals; employee/spouse/legal domestic partner-created charities; man-made disasters; terrorist organizations or groups that condone acts of violence; political and labor organizations; school organizations including clubs, parent teacher groups, social fraternities and sororities, and alumni associations; non-charitable or private organizations (according to IRS Codes); tuition; fees; memberships; memorial donations; virtual events; dues; event tickets; subscriptions; telethons; or beauty pageants.

Enterprise Holdings holds an annual Stronger Together Employee Giving campaign to facilitate donations from employees who wish to support organizations in their local communities. Employees are given the choice of supporting their local United Way chapter or a small number of employee-identified agencies representing a variety of causes. The Foundation provides a 50% match to employee contributions throughout communities in the United States and Canada. Similarly, the Foundation supports the "Give as You Earn" scheme in the United Kingdom.
