Season of Giving at Pinterest

This Season of Giving, Pinterest is supporting employees in giving back to causes that are meaningful to them. Through donation matching, donation drives in local offices and collective volunteering, our team is making an impact in their local communities this holiday season. Learn more about the team’s efforts below. 

Giving Tuesday

Last year, we introduced Pinterest Gives, our one-stop-shop for empowering and enabling employees to contribute to causes. Pinterest Gives is supporting our team for Giving Tuesday, the global movement of generosity that kicks off the end-of-year giving back season. Today, Pinterest will have a 3:1 match for employee donations. We’ll continue with 2:1 matching throughout the rest of the year. Employees will have the opportunity to donate to nonprofits on the platform, discover causes to support or create their own giving opportunities. 

Local office activations

Across our global offices, we’ve also partnered with a number of nonprofits to give back to the communities where employees live and work this holiday season. Donation drives will include a food drive in our San Francisco and Palo Alto offices, a toy drive in our Dublin office, and a clothing drive in our São Paulo office. Pinterest’s Chicago, London, Mexico City, New York, Seattle and Toronto offices are also hosting holiday drives to support local organizations that are giving back to those in need. 

Collective action

With PinFlex, our flexible work model, Pinterest teams create intentional moments to gather on-site for collaboration and connection. As the year comes to a close, employees across the business are meeting one last time and adding volunteer activities to their meeting agendas. In partnership with local organizations, teams such as Government Affairs and Social Responsibility, IT, Sales and even PinPlanet (one of our interest groups) will host volunteer activities to give back together. 

A note from Wanji Walcott, Chief Legal and Business Affairs Officer

“As we approach the end of the year, I’m so inspired by our employees’ commitment to giving back. At Pinterest, we believe in supporting our communities and empowering our teams to make a difference. Whether it’s through volunteering, donating, or simply spreading kindness, we’re proud to foster a culture of giving all year long.”
