Our Approach
Making an impact
Global and Local Giving
To lead our philanthropic efforts, we established a global philanthropy committee as well as several local committees to lead initiatives across the regions where we operate. The majority of our local funding is concentrated on addressing causes aligned with our Citizenship focus areas of Climate and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI).
Volunteering
We offer numerous volunteering opportunities during work hours throughout the year and employees have two volunteer paid time off days that they are encouraged to use for causes they care about in their communities.
Matching Gifts
As part of our investment in our people and communities, AXIS also sponsors a Matching Gift Program, an employee Grant Program and special opportunities to give back in partnership with our DEI and environmental initiatives through our internal Employee Recognition Program, AXIS Applause.

Spotlights
AXIS employees engage in charity initiatives and events with the aim of making a positive impact at the global, local and individual levels. See recent spotlights.
Future Frontiers
For the third year running, AXIS’ London Philanthropy Committee has partnered with Future Frontiers. This programme gives our staff the opportunity to act as a coach/mentor to secondary school pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds. Future Frontiers is an award-winning education charity that exists to ensure young people from disadvantaged backgrounds fulfil their potential at school and when transitioning to education, employment or training at age 16.
They do this through an intensive programme of coaching delivered by business professionals and giving students access to professional role models in their chosen industries. It is an education for both AXIS staff and pupils and it is wonderful to see how engaged and enthusiastic everyone participating is. To date, AXIS has supported over 45 students to plan for their next steps.
The Sandwich Project
Our Alpharetta office partnered with AmWins brokers to support The Sandwich Project, a grassroots 501(c)(3) non-profit organization addressing food insecurity in metro Atlanta. The Sandwich Project operates through a network of dedicated volunteers who create and deliver fresh, homemade sandwiches to individuals facing food insecurity.
We firmly believe in the transformative power of community, compassion, kindness, and the fundamental right of every person to access nourishing food. The Alpharetta office along with our AmWins brokers made over 2,300 sandwiches for those in need. Sandwiches consisted of Peanut Butter and Jelly, Turkey and Cheese, and Ham and Cheese.
All AXIS Clean Up Day
In 2023, AXIS hosted its first All AXIS Clean Up day in partnership with Ocean Conservancy, a global non-profit that promotes healthy and diverse ocean ecosystems. Over 400 volunteers in 15 different office locations around the world, dedicated their time to cleaning up trash around local beaches, rivers, lakes, and parks.
The efforts of our clean up resulted in almost 3,000 pounds of trash and 10,000 individual pieces collected. Among the items tracked were bits of foam, food wrappers, straws, bottle caps and over 2,000 cigarette butts.
