What is the HP Charity Journey?

The HP Charity Journey is a charitable initiative created and supported by HP employees. Its purpose is to support NGOs and their projects by collecting money through donations or activity fees. Every year many NGOs apply to have their projects selected and receive a portion of the collected amount. A committee of HP volunteers is in charge of discussing the NGOs projects and choosing a few of them according to the eligibility criteria.

How can I participate in the initiative?

Become a Volunteer
If you are an HP employee, you can always participate as a volunteer in the Charity Journey! There are various workstreams you can contribute to (communications, projects and NGOs coordination, logistics, Sports and Race, HP Demo Tours and many more!). The communication team strives to reach everyone with information about volunteer recruitment, but if you missed it and are interested in collaborating with us, write us at charity.journey.barcelona@hp.com. We will let you know at which stage of the recruitment we are, and how you can help.

Become an Ambassador of a project
If you are an HP employee, you can be the ambassador of one NGO. The ambassador is the connector between the NGO and HP, presenting its project to the selection committee and following the entity through the entire selection process. The role of the ambassadors is crucial for the NGOs, because just the ones who have one can be selected.

Present your NGO at the Charity Journey
Do you have an NGO and you want to have the chance to receive a part of the amount the HP Charity Journey collects for charitable projects? You can present your social entity at our marketplace happening around February. Remember that to be selected, you should find an HP ambassador during or after this event. Only the NGOs with an HP ambassador are eligible to receive the final amount for their projects. If you want to participate to the next HP Charity Journey marketplace, write us at communications.barcelona-site@hp.com.
