Giving Back
A vision to make
a significant positive impact in the world
The Sequoia Impact Program exists to leverage our team’s unique abilities and mobilize the Sequoia network to improve our local and global communities. We do this by providing healthcare and educational support to empower those in need.

The Sequoia Impact Fund
The Sequoia Impact Fund is a charitable giving account that advances our philanthropic efforts in our local and global communities. In 2020, Sequoia has made financial grants to our non-profit partners to alleviate food insecurity, address mental health challenges, support racial justice, help people gain access to economic opportunity and uplift the most vulnerable people in our communities. Thank you for joining us to serve this important mission.
Sequoia Champions Health and Wellbeing for Underserved Communities
Year-Long Matching Gift Campaign starts March 2021
Sequoia will match donations made to the Sequoia Impact Fund up to $250K (limit $10K per donor), for the health and wellbeing of underserved communities. All funds raised will be given to non-profit organizations supporting this cause. Every 2 months, Sequoia will feature a new non-profit. Each non-profit will be awarded up to $50K during this campaign so that multiple organizations can be supported.
Sequoia’s Spotlight Charity for March and April is Peer Health Exchange
Peer Health Exchange’s mission is to empower young people with the knowledge, skills, and resources to make healthy decisions. We do this by training college students to teach a skills-based health curriculum in under-resourced high schools across the country.
Sequoia will match donations made via the donate now button below.

Impact supporters speak
Client impact
Sequoia takes pride in supporting people-first organizations and giving back to the communities where we live and work.
That’s why when you bundle benefits with two or more services (401(k), Global Services, Return to Work, Risk Management) through Sequoia, we will make a $250 donation to the Sequoia Impact Fund in appreciation for your trust in us. This is just one of the many ways you can join us and our partner charities in making a positive impact for social good.
