BuzzBee Company is committed to making a positive impact by supporting community organizations and fostering employees' passion for giving.
At BuzzBee, an active engagement in our community is an integral part of our mission and core values. We are committed to making a positive impact by supporting community organizations and fostering our employees' passion for giving. Specifically, we have worked to formulate an organized charitable model and emphasize the importance of corporate philanthropy as a company-wide initiative, intertwined with our company goals.
Through our three-part giving approach, BuzzBee gives back at a company level, community level, and personal level.
Company Involvement: BuzzBee donates time, talent, and treasure, with a specific focus on organizations that advocate for women and children. We achieve this by providing pro bono services for clients who focus on doing social good, contributing financially to charitable donations and local causes that improve lives, and participating in company sponsored giving events.
Community Involvement: On a community level, BuzzBee helps rally employees, friends, partners, clients, and colleagues to achieve an even greater impact than we can individually. BuzzBee participates in employee-led giving events, supports active volunteerism with flexible work accommodations, encourages all employees to find a cause they are passionate about, and inspires the BuzzBee community to get involved.
Personal Involvement: BuzzBee provides financial support and donation matching to employees that are involved in philanthropic efforts.

BuzzBee was honored when our partner and friend, Marcie Glenn, CEO of Another Source reached out to us to help with their goal of collecting 500 flash drives for the YWCA of Seattle, King County & Snohomish County. BuzzBee has collected new and gently used drives that will support the Y's School Days program which raises much needed supplies for kids heading back to school. Because Another Source and BuzzBee share the common mandate of supporting our community, we were delighted to help.
