The Massy Group announced the awardees of their 2024 Forces for Good grants earlier this week. The programme, now in its second year, was launched as part of the Group’s Centennial celebrations last year.
Employees from Barbados, Colombia, Guyana, St Lucia, St Vincent, Trinidad and Tobago, and USA nominated a total of 185 projects and from those selected 46 to receive Forces for Good grants. All of the grant recipients met the criteria for the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals in the areas of Zero Hunger, Quality Education, Good Health and Wellbeing, Decent Work and Economic Growth and Industry Innovation and Infrastructure.
Massy Group President and CEO, David Affonso, says “The Forces for Good programme provides an opportunity for all Massy employees to have a voice in the impact that the Group makes in their communities. It enables our employees to give back to organisations and projects that are personally important to them, to their families, and communities. Many of our employees are actively involved in community service, and this is a great way for them to be able to secure additional support for these organisations, and to help them to continue the good work that they are doing. The response to Forces for Good has been inspiring, with over 2,600 employees across eight countries getting involved this year.”
