Philanthropy
Widelity believes strongly in supporting people and causes that improve our community, our understanding, and our daily lives. Companies, like individuals, are called to contribute their time and resources to making our world a better place, to live, work, and thrive together. That’s why we’re seeking to build charitable giving relationships to advance important initiatives, both in our local community, and beyond.

The Capital Area Food Bank is the largest organization in the Washington metro area working to solve hunger and its companion problems: chronic undernutrition, heart disease, and obesity. By partnering with over 450 community organizations in DC, MD, and VA, as well as delivering food directly into hard to reach areas, the CAFB is helping nearly half a million people each year get access to good, healthy food. That’s 10% of our region’s mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, sisters, brothers, and grandparents.

GMU’s close relationships with a number of corporate partners also gives students opportunities to apply their classroom learning to real-world situations to help make the world safer, cleaner, and healthier.
