In-Kind 
Donations
ESPN extended the life 
and impact of its resources 
through in kind donations of 
studio equipment, production 
technology and office assets 
to schools and community 
organizations. These 
contributions supported 
local media programs, youth 
development initiatives 
and nonprofit partners 
while reinforcing ESPN’s
commitment to sustainability 
and access. Throughout 
the year, employees also supported a range of Disney Drives including the Disney Ultimate Toy Drive, blood 
drives and school supply drives, further expanding the company’s community impact through essential 
resources and volunteer engagement. Participation and reach reflect strong employee engagement and 
enterprise-wide collaboration.

Employee 
Engagement
ESPN believes that employees who 
volunteer locally have a unique understanding 
of the organizations and challenges within their 
communities. Because the needs of a place 
like Bristol may look very different from those 
in Charlotte or Los Angeles, we rely on our 
employees to help identify the nonprofits that 
should receive Hometown Grants in each market. 
By empowering employees to guide these 
decisions, we both deepen their engagement and 
strengthen the local support systems that help our 
communities thrive—reinforcing our commitment 
to being good neighbors wherever we operate.
Through our Disney VoluntEARS program, the company encourages 
passionate employees around the globe to donate their time and talents to 
their local communities.
