Citrix runs a salary deduction drive to help the under privileged in
this global crisis
Citrix has
always believed in supporting the communities in which they live and work.
Whenever natural disasters have struck in the past, Citrix has figured out ways
where the company might be able to help, and the global teams have willingly
and generously contributed money and time to these disaster relief efforts that
can make a difference in the lives of those affected.
Amidst the ongoing pandemic
too, working with their committee of community ambassadors - which comprises of
employees across all levels and organizations – Citrix selected 11 charities
that provide support in the most critical areas of need and put the full court
press on their vendor to vet them.
To support these
organizations, Citrix employees were given the opportunity to donate one day’s
salary or any amount of their choice in the month of April. The digital
workspaces leader also stepped up to match their contributions 2:1.
The drive has successfully
helped raise 1.25 Crore, or nearly $165,000 USD.
Together with the organizations, Citrix has helped:
· 15,500 frontline healthcare workers by providing face masks, shields, personal
protective equipment and daily lunches
· 4,000 migrant workers and families in need by providing essentials and cash support
for several weeks
· 800 elderly and individuals with special needs by providing food and medical
essentials
· 450 transgender families by providing relief packages and ration kits
·
75 waste pickers by providing personal hygiene kits and masks
