City of New York – CGI in the community

CGI is an active partner in numerous charitable causes, including Share Our Strength®, a nonprofit with the mission of ending childhood hunger in the U.S. by 2015. CGI's senior vice president and City of New York client executive, Mike Keating, is the executive sponsor of our Share Our Strength partnership.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture recently reported that more than 17 million children in America are struggling with hunger. CGI works with Share Our Strength to help these children in a number of ways.

Through the partnership effort to connect as many eligible childrenas possible to existing food programs, Mike Keating and other CGI experts worked over the summer to help a state hunger partnership determine where to focus improvements by developing a reporting tool to baseline and track usage data. As a result, in June 2010, 7,251 more children received a meal every day than in June 2009. CGI plans to replicate this successful pilot and roll out similar tools to other states and municipalities.

In Fall 2010, CGI also launched a GivingBack initiative for its members to benefit Share Our Strength. More than 1,200 members made the NoKid Hungry pledge.
