Hurricane Dorian made landfall as a Category 5 storm, when it hit the Abaco Islands in the northern Bahamas, before moving on to the island of Grand Bahama. The intense and slow-moving hurricane has now lashed the northwest Bahamas for more than 48 hours, though it is slowly moving away from Grand Bahama island. The storm has brought widespread devastation; on the Abaco islands, at least five deaths have been reported and there has been extensive damage to homes and buildings. A complete assessment of damage and impact will take place once the storm has completely passed. The Cisco Foundation has launched a $250,000 disaster response campaign to benefit American Red Cross, Direct Relief, Mercy Corps, Team Rubicon, and World Central Kitchen. The Foundation will match eligible donations up to $10,000 per employee. Donations will not be counted toward employees' annual $10,000 match limit. **Note on Tax Deductibility: This fund may include organizations based in the US, and in other countries. US employees who make a credit card donation will receive a receipt for tax deductibility for the portion of the donation contributed to US organizations.

Since December 28th, there have been nearly 1,000 tremors and aftershocks in Puerto Rico, the largest one striking in the early hours of January 7th and registering a 6.4 on the Richter scale; another earthquake with a magnitude of 5.9 hit Puerto Rico on Saturday, January 11. Nearly 270,000 households have lost access to water, while more than 5,000 people have lost their homes. Aftershocks continue and many are afraid to stay within their homes and near large structures. Because the island's water system has been affected by the vast power outages, access to safe water remains a concern alongside addressing mental health and health-related care. The Cisco Foundation has launched a $100,000 disaster response campaign to benefit the American Red Cross, International Medical Corps, Mercy Corps, and World Central Kitchen. The Foundation will match eligible donations up to $10,000 per employee. Donations will not be counted toward employees' annual $10,000 match limit. **Note on Tax Deductibility: This fund may include organizations based in the US, and in other countries.

Volunteering in-person is tougher than it used to be. With your help, the Cisco Secure Marketing Team can make a meaningful impact on our communities and close out the year strong through holiday giving. The holiday season is a time of gratitude, celebration, and reflection. This season of giving is a perfect time to find ways for the team to give back and help others. To celebrate our culture of philanthropy with Cisco's matching gifts program, we set up the Cisco Secure Cares Bright Funds initiative. Three organizations our team members were passionate about were selected for this year's Bright Funds Holiday Fund campaign. Our team goal is $5000. Together let's make a meaningful difference for these organizations. Please note: When you donate to qualified organizations through Bright Funds, Cisco will match dollar for dollar, up to $25,000 annually. Interested in donating to other organization?
