Employee Stories

Employees who receive giving cards are required to submit a story and describe how they used their giving cards. However, employees have the option to have their stories published on the Foundation’s website or not, and recipients of the giving cards may remain anonymous. The Washington family enjoys hearing about all the good employees are doing in their communities with their Pay It Forward giving cards.
