OKLAHOMA CITY (May 25, 2021) – Paycom Software, Inc., (NYSE:PAYC), a leading provider of comprehensive, cloud-based human capital management software, presented a $30,000 check to Water4, an Oklahoma City-based international nonprofit dedicated to eradicating the world’s water crisis through local, missional businesses. With this donation, Water4 will be able to provide sustainable water to more than 1,100 people and create over 500 jobs.
“We value our partnership with Paycom and look forward to the good work we can accomplish together,” said Matt Hangen, president and CEO of Water4. “We’re committed to local people solving local problems with local resources and working through the capacity, strength and greatness of ordinary people to do whatever it takes to see a world where every last person has abundant access to safe water.”
Water4, founded by Oklahoma business owners Dick & Terri Greenly, is dedicated to seeing every home, school and clinic in developing countries have access to sustainable, safe water. They’re not only delivering safe water to those without it, they’re building livelihoods and local resources through business-based, maintainable solutions.
“This donation by our employees will help Water4 continue to provide water and resources to those in need,” said AJ Griffin, Paycom’s director of government and community affairs. “This is yet another aspect where Paycom is committed to ESG initiatives to better the environment and combat this global crisis.”
Water4 partners with local entrepreneurs in 13 countries across Africa who use donated capital to operate water service businesses by local people paying affordable rates for safe water. They believe the water crisis will not be solved with charity alone, but by locking arms with the people directly affected and empowering them to be part of the solution. Since 2008, Water4 has delivered safe water to over 1.6 million individuals in sub-Saharan Africa.
The donation comes as part of Paycom’s ongoing giving campaign, where employees have given nearly $100,000 to support various local and national causes this year. Additional ways they give back include volunteer events and service initiatives that strengthen families and communities.
