Working for society

Caja Madrid makes a special effort to involve its professionals in social initiatives to foster volunteer work and a keener awareness of the social needs of our day.

Staff fundraising

Whenever major humanitarian crises occur, Caja Madrid opens special current accounts where staff can make contributions that are distributed to the non-governmental organisations (NGOs) working on the ground. Follow-up calls for funds also go out every three months.

Volunteer information point

This service is designed to advise each volunteer or potential volunteer on the kind of activity or non-profit organisation they are looking for, and which ones are currently in need of temporary or permanent volunteers.

Fair trade store

Selling a variety of ethically manufactured items from producer communities in Africa, South America and Asia as part of the campaign to ensure all people a decent future and to support fair trade practices.

Publicising of Obra Social, Fundación and Sponsorship activities

A programme that seeks to give internal publicity to Obra Social, Fundación and Sponsorship activities so staff and their families can get actively involved.

Internal communication

All issues of in-house magazine La Caja feature articles about employees' experiences as volunteers, including calls for support and contact details.
