This year, more than 1,000 employees around the world showed their generous spirit completing 117 volunteer projects. From distributing school bags to children or preparing and serving meals to supporting organizations like Habitat for Humanity, volunteers made a visible impact while reaffirming their commitment to service.

June was exciting, and there are many great stories to share. This article covers global initiatives only. 

Missing Maps Project

Franklin Templeton employees participated in the ninth annual Missing Maps project, a virtual global volunteer opportunity to map areas missing from maps, which helps disaster relief efforts. Franklin Templeton donated to Save the Children for each participant who logged at least 60 minutes of mapping in June.

Global CAN Competition

The annual food drive and CANstruction competition brought creativity and generosity together, with employees from nine locations collecting over 4,000 cans and other dry food items. Teams built sculptures from the donations, with Short Hills, NJ office winning the photo contest for their “Ben’s Diner” sculpture and Mexico City winning the video contest with their rendition of the Angel of Independence. Each winning team received a donation to a local charitable organization of choice.

The bigger our structure, the greater the benefit for the recipient of our CANstruction materials.”

The firm’s annual fitness charity challenge saw 305 employees from 79 teams log over 44 million steps to raise funds for a meaningful cause. Together we walked an incredible 44,487,794 steps—totaling approximately 21,064 miles (33,899 km). That is roughly the distance from New York City to Tokyo and back—twice! To honor the dedication of employees, Franklin Templeton donated to Save the Children in recognition of this achievement.

Freerice Challenge

Additionally, employees participated in the Freerice online trivia challenge, donating over 2.29 million grains of rice through the World Food Program.

Global Involved Day

Impact Days concluded on June 24 with Global Involved Day, where employees proudly wore their volunteer T-shirts to celebrate a month of meaningful service. From Poznan to Kuala Lumpur, the spirit of giving and community was evident across the globe.

Franklin Templeton Celebrates Global Volunteerism During 19th Annual Impact Days

<img alt="flooded buildings" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="206a7633-828e-4600-b49d-a21fdd769925" src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/fans-and-dehumidifiers_ScottsMiracle-Gro_072325.jpg" width="640" class="align-center" height="627" loading="lazy" />On February 14, 2025, nine inches of rain fell on Eastern Kentucky, leading to massive flooding. Having previously coordinated relief efforts with ScottsMiracle-Gro in 2022, Aaron Thoms with Christian Appalachian Project (CAP), knew exactly who to call. “When Aaron reached out, I was hopeful we could help in some way,” said Katherine Dickens, director of ESG and social impact at ScottsMiracle-Gro. “We had history with the organization and the need was great.”

Unlike a typical disaster response that primarily focuses on food and water, flooding presents a unique challenge; the immediate need for fans and dehumidifiers to combat moisture and prevent mold growth. Fans and dehumidifiers are often in short supply after a flood, and relief agencies typically do not stock them. Because of this specific need, Hawthorne Gardening, a subsidiary of ScottsMiracle-Gro, was able to provide assistance.

“We were more than willing to again deliver dehumidifiers and fans to CAP,” says Alex Grossi, VP, supply chain and administration of Hawthorne Gardening. “We were in a somewhat unique position, as these aren’t items most organizations have on hand. Thankfully, we were able to provide them, when and where they were needed most.”
<img alt="dehumidifier" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="7ed39be4-6bda-490c-b394-8e8a1eee4734" src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/fans-and-dehumidifiers2_ScottsMiracle-Gro_072325.png" width="640" class="align-center" height="976" loading="lazy" />Soon, three truckloads containing 41 pallets of dehumidifiers and fans were on the way to Eastern Kentucky. In total, 698 dehumidifiers have been distributed to affected families, with a policy of one fan or dehumidifier per family, no questions asked. “If you need help, we’re going to help you,” says Aaron. “We are grateful for partners that allow us to help our neighbors in their time of need. These critical supplies really have a huge impact following a disaster.”

Since 2022, ScottsMiracle-Gro has donated over 6 truckloads, or 90 pallets of fans and dehumidifiers to CAP, helping communities and families after flood events. “You see flood survivors that are emotionally torn up. These fans and dehumidifiers help them begin the long process of rebuilding,” says Aaron. “We are grateful to be able to deliver hope in the midst of turmoil.”

Fans and Dehumidifiers Help Eastern Kentucky Residents

<img alt="Verizon Innovative Learning Schools Coach Abigail Thompson" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d26297b2-6645-489d-9639-d364b36e8727" src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/tools-inspire-student-engagement_Verizon_072825.jpg" class="align-center" width="1200" height="673" loading="lazy" /><a href="https://www.verizon.com/about/news/providing-educators-tools-inspire-student-engagement" target="_blank">Verizon</a>

Foreign Language Academy in Kansas City builds student confidence through adaptable, tech-forward lesson plans.

When Abigail Thompson joined Foreign Language Academy in Kansas City, Missouri, as the Verizon Innovative Learning Schools Coach, she made it her personal mission to inspire teachers and students with technology and share ways that classroom tech could reshape learning.

“I had already been a teacher in Kansas City Public Schools, and I was really interested in technology and how it’s best used in the classroom,” Thompson says. “I like that I still get to work with kids in some capacity, but I love that I get to help other teachers be great.”

In her role, Thompson has helped teachers successfully implement lesson plans from <a href="https://www.verizon.com/learning?cid=gyrate0265" target="_blank">Verizon Innovative Learning HQ</a>, which offers free to all educators more than 450 tech-based lessons, created by partners like McGraw Hill, Discovery Education and Arizona State University. The lesson plans cover subjects from game design to biology and beyond.
<figure role="group" class="align-center"><img alt="&quot; &quot;" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b6f69ec1-5842-4250-8038-f9caaefd9a6d" src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/tools-inspire-student-engagement2_Verizon_072825.jpeg" width="700" height="393" loading="lazy" /><figcaption>Coach Thompson reports that the Stop-Motion Animation lesson from Verizon Innovative Learning HQ is a hit with students. Here, Leo, a seventh grader, sets up his first shot. Photo credit: Nicole Bissey</figcaption></figure>Occasionally, Thompson finds an appealing lesson plan that suggests using a tool or app that the school doesn’t have. “The reality is maybe we don’t always have that exact resource,” she says. But because the lesson plans on Verizon Innovative Learning HQ lay out exactly what is needed for each course of study, Thompson says she easily finds smart substitutions. “Exploring what tools we have and can utilize instead has been big for us,” she says.

One of the most popular Verizon Innovative Learning HQ resources at Thompson’s school, for example, is the <a href="https://www.verizon.com/learning/lesson-plans/lessons/StopMotion-Animation/575?cid=gyrate0265" target="_blank">Stop-Motion Animation</a> lesson, which gives students a fun, hands-on way to be creative while learning core STEM principles. The lesson plan recommends using the Stop Motion Studio app, but Thompson found a substitute app already available on school tablets with the same capabilities.
<figure role="group" class="align-center"><img alt="&quot; &quot;" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3eff50ee-b3d9-4e45-a44d-b36b4cc92989" src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/tools-inspire-student-engagement3_Verizon_072825.jpeg" width="700" height="393" loading="lazy" /><figcaption>Gabriela, a student at Foreign Language Academy, builds a frame-by-frame stop-animation video. The Stop-Motion Animation lesson bridges material from various STEM subjects, including physics, engineering, and math, with art and design. Photo credit: Nicole Bissey</figcaption></figure>Students find the technology both easy-to-use and engaging. “After I take all the pictures, I go to the app where you can edit and add effects,” says fifth grader Gabriela. “I feel like I’m learning when I use it. You’re expanding your brain to learn about editing photography and video together.” The lesson also teaches physics (understanding motion and gravity), engineering (designing sets and props) and math (measuring time and frame rates).

Thompson said another lesson plan that’s a favorite across all grades levels is <a href="https://www.verizon.com/learning/lesson-plans/lessons/Emoji-Design/375?cid=gyrate0265" target="_blank">Emoji Design</a>, which recommends using a graphic design software program that the school doesn’t own. Thompson identified five alternate applications that worked with the material, however, giving students several options for creating their designs.

The resulting emojis are as different as the students are. Kevin, a sixth grader, made a sports-themed emoji to symbolize his love of soccer and basketball; eighth grader Maria Jose taught herself how to create a gradient background to use in her design.
<figure role="group" class="align-center"><img alt="&quot; &quot;" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e0090b88-97eb-4af3-8ccf-8e11543e6ecc" src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/tools-inspire-student-engagement4_Verizon_072825.jpeg" width="700" height="393" loading="lazy" /><figcaption>The Human Eye, an augmented reality lesson plan, takes students on a journey inside the human eyeball. Fourth grader Zara (right) loves the unusual perspective: “I like how I can move the eye around and see the insides. You can’t do that in other classes.” Photo credit: Nicole Bissey</figcaption></figure>The flexibility of the lesson plans on Verizon Innovative Learning HQ brings creative energy to the classroom, giving students the freedom to explore and innovate during lessons, which in turn builds their confidence. For some lesson plans, the students can choose which tools they will use to complete their work, and students will make selections based on their own interests and comfort level. “One of the kids got so excited about [a popular music production app],” says Thompson. “He said, ‘I’m really good at keeping beats, so I’m working in percussion.’ I just love that.”

Having agency and authorship of their learning experience gives the students the confidence to develop new skills. “Using technology for creation rather than consumption in the classroom is so important,” Thompson says. "It helps students see technology as a tool and gives them so many options to show who they are and what they know. Creating choice has given voice to the students. It helps them gain both knowledge and confidence, so I just think that’s awesome."

The students think it’s awesome, too. “We integrate our own ideas into our work,” says Gabriel, a seventh grader.

Leo, also in seventh grade, puts it more simply: “The lessons are more fun.”

Tim Nash, a STEM and robotics teacher, says that his students are repurposing skills they learned in the Verizon Innovative Learning HQ lessons and bringing them to other subjects. “We have a journalism class that does weekly video announcements using [readily available video production apps],” Nash says. “It’s something new that we’re doing, because the kids now know how to use the tools in ways that can be implemented outside of the classroom.”
<figure role="group" class="align-center"><img alt="&quot; &quot;" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="7ff599f2-e3e3-49f8-970a-11e783db7981" src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/tools-inspire-student-engagement5_Verizon_072825.jpeg" width="700" height="393" loading="lazy" /><figcaption>Tim Nash is a STEM and robotics teacher and leads the Tech Club at Foreign Language Academy. He allows the students choice in what tools they use to complete their assignments (shown here with fifth grader Gabriela, left). “When you actually see the students dialed in,” Nash says, “you know this is it.” Photo credit: Nicole Bissey</figcaption></figure>Those video announcements are shared school-wide. And, as Nash points out, it’s “pretty cool” that middle-school students are stepping into these kinds of roles, inspired to branch out and apply what they’ve learned in real-life scenarios.

For her colleagues, meanwhile, Thompson fosters ongoing creative usage of Verizon Innovative Learning HQ lessons at the school by sharing resources, lesson examples and project ideas with teachers, partly through a monthly newsletter and partly through one-to-one calls with her co-workers. And just like their students, the teachers are taking the ball and running with it, with creative and engaging results. “The teachers see the resources and take them and they make them their own,” she says.

Providing Educators With Tools To Inspire Student Engagement

<img alt="6 people on stage accepting an award" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="354ef5ef-15a0-4198-9282-6e49675a119f" src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/Awards-Gala_FedEx_71525.jpg" width="640" class="align-center" height="853" loading="lazy" />In recognition of <a href="https://www.un.org/en/observances/world-youth-skills-day" target="_blank">World Youth Skills Day</a> and Chronic Illness Awareness Month, FedEx celebrates Calm Canvas, a team of young entrepreneurs from Ohio who earned the 2025 Global Possibilities Award, presented by FedEx during Future Bound™ by Junior Achievement. Calm Canvas offers a unique color-by-number experience that combines creative expression with proven coping strategies for stress and anxiety.

The Calm Canvas team understands what living with chronic illnesses is like. Their goal, through their product, is to help ensure that people with chronic illnesses don’t battle alone and that others have compassion for those living with chronic illnesses.

For over 40 years, FedEx and JA Worldwide have worked together to cultivate the entrepreneurial spirit in tomorrow's global business leaders. Junior Achievement (JA) is the world's largest organization dedicated to giving young people the knowledge and skills they need to own their economic success, plan for their future, and make smart academic and economic choices.

Every June, JA USA hosts Future Bound™ by Junior Achievement and this year’s event, held at Georgia State University in Atlanta, brought together over 300 high school students from across the country. These future leaders competed in four dynamic competitions—JA Company of the Year® Competition, JA Social Innovation Challenge®, JA Stock Market Challenge®, and JA Titan Challenge® - vying for awards, scholarships, and national recognition.

FedEx awards one student company with the FedEx Global Possibilities Award during the Company of the Year competition. The award recognizes JA student-run businesses that best exhibit the principles of global connectivity – Driven by Innovation, Connecting to New Markets, Fueling Community Development, and Sustainability and Social Responsibility.

Calm Canvas captures the 2025 Global Possibilities Award Presented by FedEx

<a href="https://www.calmcanvasja.com/" target="_blank">Calm Canvas</a>, a team of seven from Hoover High School in North Canton, Ohio, has a simple mission: to create a movement that empowers individuals to take proactive steps toward emotional resilience and self-care.

Each year, more than 800,000 people die by suicide, with stress and anxiety being significant contributing factors, especially among teens and young adults. Calm Canvas is determined to change this.

To do this, the team created Calm Canvas, a unique paint-by-number experience designed to promote emotional well-being. Each color is paired with a specific coping strategy, such as deep breathing, gratitude listing, and self-reflection, among others, all important techniques for managing stress and anxiety.

What separates Calm Canvas from many other JA companies is that they created and assembled the products by hand. From the COO and resident artist <a href="https://www.calmcanvasja.com/team/peyton-craig" target="_blank">Peyton Craig | Calm Canvas</a> drawing the designs for the canvas, to printing the designs on the canvas, all steps in the process were done in-house.

The team adeptly handled partnerships, community collaborations, and marketing to raise awareness of its mission and product. Through its marketing efforts, Calm Canvas reached audiences in more than 25 different countries, with their social media content amassing over 25 million views worldwide.

The team strives to make a difference in mental health awareness and support by donating a portion of their proceeds to local organizations that promote mental health education, provide resources for emotional well-being, and support individuals navigating life’s challenges. For example, 10% of the company’s profits go to Akron Children's Inpatient Psychiatric Center.

“Junior Achievement of North Central Ohio is incredibly proud of Calm Canvas and all they’ve accomplished through the JA Company Program. Their innovation, teamwork, and entrepreneurial spirit exemplify the power of hands-on learning. Winning the FedEx Global Possibilities award is not just a recognition of their hard work — it’s a launchpad for their future success. It’s because of partners like FedEx and their passion for supporting youth entrepreneurship that students like those at Calm Canvas have opportunities like this. Their investment not only empowers today’s young innovators but also inspires future generations of entrepreneurs to dream big and achieve more," said Josh Lehman, President

“More than anything, we could not be more grateful to FedEx and all of its employees for the support they’ve shown us throughout the competition and for the award they so graciously gave us. It truly shows how much FedEx cares when a company of their size goes out of its way to support not just small businesses, but the next generation of leaders. By giving out this award, they’re not just supporting students; they’re changing lives and paving the way for the world’s next changemakers,” said Peyton Craig, COO Calm Canvas.

The contract, which is set to begin in 2026-27, will keep the KeyBank Center name in place through the 2035-36 season. KeyBank is the official and exclusive bank of the Buffalo Sabres.

“We are thankful for the support of KeyBank over the course of the last decade and look forward to the continued relationship with such a valued partner of the Buffalo Sabres,” said Sabres Owner, CEO and President Terry Pegula. “We take great pride in our home arena bearing the name of an organization with such strong roots in the Western New York community and feel this partnership will continue to drive community impact for many years to come.”

“We are thrilled to build upon our partnership with the Buffalo Sabres. This is an investment in Buffalo and reflects our commitment to this community,” said KeyCorp Chairman and CEO Chris Gorman. “KeyBank and the Sabres will continue to drive Buffalo forward, creating opportunities and delivering on our purpose: to help our clients and communities thrive. We believe in Buffalo’s future and are proud to carry it forward — together.”

In addition to the arena naming rights, the longstanding partnership between the Sabres and KeyBank will introduce KeyBank as the team’s away helmet sponsor starting in the 2025-26 season. KeyBank’s collaboration with the Sabres dates back to 2015 and reinforces the commitment of both organizations to the Western New York community.

KeyBank and the Buffalo Sabres’ dedication to giving back to the city of Buffalo and the greater Western New York region will continue with the introduction of the HocKey Assists Community Program. The mission of HocKey Assists is to inspire pride and possibility in the Western New York community. Through initiatives focused on education, small business growth and neighborhood engagement, this community program will empower and support youth, put a spotlight on local entrepreneurs and their journeys, and bring people together through impactful programs that make a lasting difference in the neighborhoods we call home.

“KeyBank and the Sabres both believe that when our community thrives, we all thrive,” said KeyBank Buffalo Market President Mike McMahon. “That’s why we are excited to launch our new HocKey Assists initiative which aims to empower youth, uplift local entrepreneurs, and unite communities through impactful, grassroots programs. As we celebrate KeyBank’s bicentennial, our partnership with the Sabres is a symbol of our commitment to making a difference in Buffalo and all of the communities we call home.”

“Creating a community hub remains a core aspect of our mission at KeyBank Center,” said Buffalo Sabres COO Pete Guelli. “We see tremendous value in KeyBank Center serving as a gathering place in our city and nothing exemplifies this more than the KeyBank commitment. Additionally, KeyBank Center holds the unique ability to impact and drive economic growth in downtown Buffalo that can create a lasting impact in the community. Tied in with the HocKey Assists program, this partnership stands to benefit our community in immeasurable ways.”

As part of the continued partnership, KeyBank customers will enjoy exclusive benefits when attending games, concerts and events at KeyBank Center starting during the 2026-27 hockey season. The partnership extension was negotiated with the help of Excel Consulting Services, an industry-leading management and marketing agency.
