Each September and October, employees in all regions and organizations complete in-person and virtual volunteer activities. At the end of the eight weeks, both the organization and region with the greatest level of volunteer engagement and volunteer hours logged directed a $40,000 USD grant from the Motorola Solutions Foundation to a charitable partner of their choice.

This year, employees engaged in volunteer service in record-breaking numbers, supporting over 300 volunteer projects in 43 countries.
