CORPORATE GIVING
Neiman Marcus associates are very passionate about the United Way and the organizations it supports. The Longview Distribution Center (pictured above) forms a United Way committee each year to set and achieve a fundraising goal through interesting and fun activities. In 2009, we saw an increase of 49% with United Way donations from our associates. In 2010, our associates raised more than $100,000 to help survivors of the earthquake in Haiti. Our customers were encouraged to join the effort and raised an additional $18,700. The Neiman Marcus Group values civic involvement and community service. The heart of our corporate philosophy is to be an engaged and active citizen. Our stores are dedicated to serving our communities and supporting worthwhile causes. While we do give financially, we are known for our generous spirit and support. We are tireless and enthusiastic sponsors of charity fashion shows, luncheons and special events all across the country. Many of our stores and divisions embrace and support causes that resonate with our employees. The United Way has been a Company-wide focus for The Neiman Marcus Group for 50 years. In addition to associate pledges, The Neiman Marcus Group supports the United Way with a corporate contribution to the United Way General Fund. ASSOCIATE INVESTMENT IN COMMUNITIES Our associates have donated millions of dollars and have volunteered thousands of hours in the community by working with organizations that address homelessness, hunger, health issues, poverty, domestic violence, and substance abuse. They serve on the boards of nonprofits, read to children with limited English proficiency, organize donations at food and clothing banks, deliver meals, participate in charity walks, plant trees and organize community clean-up events. |
