Building Community from Within

At Orion Capital Solutions, giving back isn’t just a corporate initiative—it’s woven into the company’s culture. Earlier this year, the company launched a unique community engagement contest designed to unite employees, celebrate teamwork, and support the causes closest to their hearts.

Each agent was invited to vote for a charity that mattered to them personally. From those votes, teams were formed, representing a diverse set of organizations with missions ranging from healthcare advocacy to local community support. The initiative wasn’t only about philanthropy; it was also about strengthening bonds across departments and encouraging collaboration in a fun, meaningful way.

Team Diabetes Leads the Way

The competition was spirited, with employees rallying together to showcase their passion for the charities they championed. In the end, Team Diabetes emerged as the winner, securing Orion Capital Solutions’ charitable donation to Breakthrough T1D (formerly JDRF).

Breakthrough T1D is a globally recognized organization dedicated to advancing research, advocacy, and support for individuals and families impacted by type 1 diabetes. Their mission to cure, prevent, and treat T1D and its complications resonates deeply with many Orion employees, some of whom have seen the effects of this condition in their own families.

A Win for Employees, a Win for the Community

The initiative highlighted how employee-driven philanthropy can amplify impact. By allowing team members to select and advocate for the causes they value most, Orion fostered a sense of ownership and pride. This not only strengthened internal culture but also created a ripple effect of positivity that extended beyond the workplace and into the broader community.

“Encouraging our team to champion the causes that matter to them is one of the best ways we can live our values as a company,” shared leadership at Orion Capital Solutions. “It’s about giving employees a voice, celebrating teamwork, and supporting meaningful missions that make a difference.”

Strengthening Industry and Community Ties

Orion’s community contest reflects a growing movement in the receivables management industry toward corporate social responsibility. Companies are increasingly embracing opportunities to demonstrate that they are more than just financial service providers—they are community partners.

For Orion, this initiative was not a one-time event but part of a broader commitment to corporate giving. The contest reinforced the idea that when employees and employers work together in service of others, communities thrive.

Looking Ahead

The success of this initiative sets a powerful precedent for future community engagement. Orion Capital Solutions plans to continue exploring ways to connect employees’ passions with charitable giving, ensuring that their contributions have both personal meaning and measurable community impact.

With Team Diabetes’ victory and a contribution to Breakthrough T1D, Orion demonstrated that philanthropy and fun can go hand in hand, leaving a lasting impact on both employees and the communities they serve.
