During the 2021 Employee Giving Campaign, current and retired employees at Standard Insurance Company pledged $1.9 million benefiting more than 2,200 schools and nonprofit organizations. After a two-for-one match by The Standard and parent organization Meiji Yasuda Life Insurance Company, total contributions from the 2021 campaign will exceed $5.6 million.
“Giving back is core to our company culture and we are proud that our employees and retirees are keeping that culture alive.”
“Each year, employees and retirees of The Standard generously pledge their support of the nonprofit organizations and schools they care most about during the Employee Giving Campaign,” said Dan McMillan, president and CEO at The Standard. “Giving back is core to our company culture and we are proud that our employees and retirees are keeping that culture alive.”

More than 1,800 employees pledged support during the campaign. These contributions, which are in addition to The Standard’s corporate and foundation giving, will be distributed to nonprofit organizations and schools during 2022.
Another unique tradition during the Employee Giving Campaign is the Jeans Days program, which provides employees added incentives including the right to wear jeans and sneakers to work all year in exchange for a $100 charitable contribution to a targeted cause. Now called the Denim Impact Fund, this year’s partners focused on addictions treatment and recovery support. The Denim Impact Fund program alone raised more than $375,000 for five nonprofit organizations: Center for Addiction Treatment in Cincinnati, Ohio; Fora Health in Portland, Oregon; Roads to Recovery in Lynchburg, Virginia; and New York-Presbyterian Westchester Behavioral Health Center in White Plains, New York.
