ibex Cares donates $52,000+ to 30+ charities
IBEX · 2024 · Community
In 2024 the employee-led ibex Cares program contributed over $52,000 to 30+ charitable organizations, including food drives in West Virginia, youth athletics in Texas, American Cancer Society Relay for Life, Special Olympics, and the Sagicor Sigma Run in Jamaica.
Employee-chosen causes, on three continents
ibex Cares is the company's employee-driven charitable program, and its defining feature is that the staff pick the causes. In 2024, ibex reports that the program contributed over $52,000 in direct support to a wide range of initiatives across its global footprint, with participation from nearly every region where it operates.
The company describes the approach as grassroots: rather than direct giving from the top, ibex Cares channels employee-led fundraising, donations, and volunteer events toward organisations that its own teams choose. By the company's count, the program now supports more than 30 charitable organisations globally.
Where the money went in 2024
ibex lists a spread of causes that reflects the geography of its workforce, from Appalachia to the Caribbean to South Asia:
- Food and household drives in West Virginia.
- Sponsorship of youth athletics in Texas.
- Participation in the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life and the Special Olympics.
- Support for the Sagicor Sigma Run and local children's organisations across Jamaica and the Philippines.
- Aid for natural-disaster recovery in the U.S. and the Caribbean.
- Support for elder care and wellness centres across the Philippines.
- Contributions to the Al-Khidmat Foundation and Centro Infantil Acahualinca.
The list spans healthcare, education, youth development, elderly care, animal welfare, and environmental conservation — a portfolio that follows employee interest rather than a single corporate theme.
The numbers
- Over $52,000 contributed in 2024.
- More than 30 charitable organisations supported.
- Participation from nearly every region in the ibex footprint.
ibex has set a clear stretch target for the following year: a 2025 goal to surpass $100,000 in total charitable impact across its regions. Early 2025 activity has continued in the same vein, including a U.S. fundraiser tied to the Wounded Warrior Project and a large employee turnout for Jamaica's Sigma Run.
Part of a people-first ESG posture
ibex Cares sits within a wider set of workforce and community commitments that the company groups under its people-first culture. In 2024 ibex launched ibexU, a global learning and development platform offering courses, certifications, and leadership tracks to employees, and it expanded its Women of ibex network with regional events, mentorship, and education across multiple countries. The company also runs internal emergency-relief campaigns and company-matched fundraising when disaster strikes its own workforce.
For a customer-experience and BPO operator whose delivery centres sit in emerging and frontline economies, that community footprint is not incidental. Programs like the West Virginia food drives, the Philippine wellness centres, and the Jamaica children's organisations map onto the very places where ibex employs people, connecting the giving to the communities the company relies on.
Why it matters
At roughly $52,000, ibex Cares is not a headline-grabbing philanthropic budget, and the company is candid that it wants to roughly double the figure. The significance lies in structure rather than size: the money is disbursed through more than 30 employee-selected causes across several countries, which turns a modest sum into broad, locally rooted reach. That distributed, staff-led model — touching health, education, disaster relief, and inequality across multiple SDGs — is a credible way for a globally dispersed workforce to give where it actually lives and works.
