Convergint Social Responsibility Day brings together colleagues, families, and partners around the world for volunteer efforts supporting schools and local communities
Tomorrow, Convergint will mark its 25th Annual Convergint Social Responsibility Day (CSRD), closing operations worldwide for a full, paid workday so colleagues can volunteer in the communities where they live and work. Coinciding with Convergint’s 25th anniversary, this year’s effort also includes the expansion of its STEP (Secure, Train, Educate, Protect) Up for Schools initiative through a newly structured grant program to help underserved K-12 schools strengthen safety and security infrastructure.
“Convergint Social Responsibility Day reflects a commitment our colleagues have carried forward for 25 years by showing up for the communities where we live and work,” said Ann Fandozzi, CEO of Convergint. “As we mark this milestone anniversary, we’re continuing to expand the impact of STEP Up for Schools alongside our partners to help provide safer, stronger learning environments for students and educators around the world.”
This year’s Convergint Social Responsibility Day efforts will bring together nearly 11,000 colleagues, families, and more than 45 industry partners across 37 countries, contributing approximately 60,000 volunteer hours worldwide. From supporting children and families in need to advancing school safety and strengthening local communities, these initiatives reflect Convergint’s belief that creating a safer and more secure world starts with investing in the people and communities we serve.
Through the 2026 STEP Up for Schools Grant Program, Convergint and its technology partners awarded 20 grants to underserved K-12 schools across the U.S., supporting a range of school safety and security needs, including access control, video systems, environmental and vape sensors, preventative maintenance services, fire alarm inspections, and security risk assessments.
Since launching in 2018, STEP Up for Schools has supported more than 175 schools and communities through donated security upgrades, assessments, volunteer-led projects, and in-kind contributions. While the average STEP Up for Schools project represents approximately $25,000 in donated products and services, Convergint and its partners have also delivered several flagship initiatives valued at more than $250,000. Since the program’s inception, Convergint estimates STEP Up for Schools has contributed more than $7 million in donated products, services, and expertise to help create safer learning environments and stronger communities worldwide.
