Our Story
Our Cisco Conexion Latino Giving Circle was the first Giving Circle in the network to be born from an Employee Resource Group for Latinx employees. Now through the Cisco Conexion Giving Circle, employees from all departments and levels join forces for collective action to provide multi-year support to community organizations. In 2020, the Cisco Connexion Circle members mobilized within the company to leverage over $25,000 in individual donations for rapid response grantmaking in response to COVID. Though Latinos are only a small percentage of Cisco’s workforce of 38,000 employees, through the Giving Circle members are bringing diversity and equity to life.
