At ING DIRECT, we are committed to making tangible improvements in our communities – even if it means getting our hands dirty. We call it "Orange in the Community" and we pride ourselves on giving back with more than just financial support. Our community endeavors, both big and small, national and local, behind the scenes or leading the pack, are always focused on making things a little brighter, or in our language, a little more orange, for those around us.

You'll also notice that we provide a lot of support for programs and to organizations that directly benefit children. Our focus is on youth and community - within the four pillars of health, education, environment and athletics, our goal is to give every child the opportunity to embrace and fulfill their potential.

ING DIRECT employees actively volunteer with many of the charities we sponsor corporately. We contribute in various ways including hosting internal fundraisers, volunteering time and support for charity events, and organizing new and unique ways to give back to our select children's charities.

Here are just a few highlights of initiatives we're involved in. You can find more details and pictures in our Public Accountability Statement.
