C.A.R.E. is the Massy Group’s new way of measuring and understanding our impact, as well as continuing to fulfill our legacy of love, care and responsibility.
Responsibility to our Environment
Employees — yes, in every region in which Massy operates! — can nominate a project that fits into one of the following categories:
These intentional areas have been selected from a wider group of goals adopted by the United Nations in order to provide a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. This pilot initiative of five of these 17 goals (known as the Sustainable Development Goals) align with the priorities set out in our new vision of being a global force for good with a Caribbean heart. We couldn’t be more excited to be on this journey with each and every one of you.
Nominations End April 26
Select one of the five categories that you would like most impacted in your community. See examples of projects here. Note that projects nominated in Trinidad and Tobago and Barbados must meet additional conditions so as to meet Massy Foundation criteria.
Research ongoing projects in your community in need of support. Your portfolio is already engaged in impactful community projects — this is a great place to start! Ask your Massy community members if they have heard about any charitable organizations undertaking community projects.
When you have found a project, note:

This goal ensures that everyone — whether children, teenagers, or adults — can all have access to quality learning in order to improve their lives.
A project that promotes literacy for adults, or a project that teaches design thinking to children in order to help them approach problems in a thoughtful way.
This goal ensures that everyone, at all ages, is able to enjoy a healthy life and a feeling of well-being.
A project that funds care for children with cancer, and support for their families.
This goal is about ensuring that all people are employed in a way that helps them to better themselves and the world around them for future generations.
A project that helps migrants to learn skills in order to become successful entrepreneurs. Another example of a successful, Massy-funded project is NUDGE, which provides training and retail access to small, mindful businesses.
This goal aims to build infrastructure (for example, buildings, road, power), in a way that contributes to development without harming people, the land, or future generations. It also aims to ensure that a country can innovate — that a country can come up with new ideas or technology to benefit its people and environment.

In total, US$370,000 will be disbursed.
