RingCentral employees around the world rolled up their sleeves and turned compassion into action. Our teams found meaningful ways to give back in their local communities, from rural classrooms in China to animal shelters in Bulgaria, from women’s shelters in the United

States to organizations supporting the visually impaired in India. Each initiative reflected the unique needs of local communities while sharing a common thread: the belief that small acts of kindness can create lasting impact.

Bulgaria: A year of animal advocacy and community care

Bulgaria’s team championed animal welfare through partnerships with Pure Love, Sharo Foundation, and Dona Dogs. The “Pets of RingCentral Bulgaria” calendars featured employee pets while raising funds (adorable and impactful), and donation drives brought blankets, toys, food, and supplies directly to shelters. Volunteers delivered essentials and spent time with animals awaiting adoption.

The team extended their compassion to human welfare through Plusheno Meche, a charity supporting children without parental care and individuals with disabilities. They donated laptops for education and wrapped up the year with Operation Teddy Bear—preparing 40 personalized gifts for people in need. Colleagues gathered for a Christmas Wrapping Workshop, transforming presents and holiday spirit into meaningful support for their community.

China: Bringing technology to rural classrooms

RingCentral China team members visited two rural schools in Fujian Province, delivering laptops, tablets, and essential learning materials. Volunteers hosted an information technology lesson and provided computer training for teachers, equipping educators to integrate new tools into their classrooms.

India: Creating accessibility and celebrating community

Bangalore’s team volunteered at Mitra Jyothi, a non-profit empowering the visually impaired. Employees supported students with resume building and assisted in Braille production, while also providing a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) grant to further the organization’s mission.

The office organized charity collection drives for those in need and honored their housekeeping staff with a special lunch and thoughtful gifts—because every person who keeps our spaces warm and inviting deserves recognition.

Manila: A day of care at CARA Welfare Philippines

“Fur the Love” brought the Furparents RingClub together with CARA Welfare Philippines for hands-on support. Volunteers brought essential donations and spent time socializing with cats and dogs in need of care and companionship. (Spoiler: the animals gave as much joy as they received.)

This partnership promoted a culture of empathy and inspired others to open their hearts to pets looking for forever homes.

United States: Hygiene kits for women and girls in need

Working alongside the WISE (Women in SaaS Empowerment) Employee Resource Group, teams packed feminine hygiene kits for their local women’s shelter. Partnering with the Samaritan House, the team prepared essential items for teenage girls in need.

Packing kits side by side created moments of connection and purpose, reminding everyone that supporting others strengthens communities year-round.

A season that connects us all

Each region approached giving differently, yet all initiatives shared common ground: genuine care for others, active participation from employees, and a commitment to making a tangible difference.

Kindness doesn’t follow a calendar or wait for a specific season. But taking time to celebrate these moments—and the people who make them possible—reminds us why giving back matters. Thank you to every employee who volunteered their time and brought heart to these initiatives. Together, we’re building communities where kindness crosses continents and creates lasting impact.
