That’s more than a catchy tagline. This report 
shines a spotlight on the many ways our outstanding 
employees give back to causes they hold dear. 

Read their stories. Feel their pride. See their impact. 
These men and women are part of their communities, 
and their communities are part of them. 

As an organization, we take our corporate and social 
responsibilities to heart. In addition to facilitating 
volunteer opportunities and awarding grants to our 
employees, The Hanover takes great pride in providing 
much-needed financial support to nonprofit entities 
and worthwhile causes that have a profound impact  
on their communities and the people who live there.

I hope you enjoy these stories. As we look to the future, 
we remain committed to working with our many  
partners and employee-volunteers to make a difference 
where it matters most. 

Sincerely,

A Note from Paul Belsito  
President of The Hanover Foundation
