Supporting the Communities We Serve

Alliant employees from across the nation join forces each year to fight cancer and other chronic diseases through our #AlliantStandsUp initiative. By coming together, we truly believe we can make a significant contribution to this important cause in the spirit of teamwork, competition, fundraising, and outreach.

A core part of the #AlliantStandsUp initiative is our March Madness “Brackets for a Cause” competition, where employees purchase and complete brackets for the NCAA Men’s and Women’s basketball tournaments, and the top finishers select a charity of their choice to receive the funds. Each year, the competition generates essential funding for charities dedicated to combating cancer and other serious illnesses, including kidney disease, Crohn’s and colitis, ALS, lupus, and heart disease. This support is made possible through bracket purchases and individual contributions from Alliant employees and a broad network of supporters. Since tipping off in 2019, Brackets for a Cause has united Alliant employees nationwide each year in the spirit of competition, collaboration, and caring for those in need.

#AlliantStandsUp will continue to serve as a key pillar of Alliant’s philanthropy efforts, and we are dedicated to supporting charities fighting cancer and other chronic diseases nationwide through activities that are both fun and meaningful.

Each year, Alliant employees across the nation come together to donate cash, food, and essential items in the company’s World Food Derby competition, providing critical relief to at-risk communities around the globe. In addition to donations, Alliant employees play a hands-on role in helping those in need, volunteering at numerous deserving organizations.

Created to support both local and global communities, World Food Derby is Alliant’s annual initiative to fundraise and volunteer time to help end world hunger in conjunction with World Food Day. Since its initial inception, World Feed Derby has been expanded to include non-food-related organizations that are making a significant community impact.

2024 marks the 16th year Alliant has participated in World Food Day, and the World Food Derby competition has raised more than $7 million since 2020, providing critical resources and assistance to those who need it most.
