Company perks can range from commuter benefits and free meals to on-site gyms and pet insurance. At Ken Griffin’s Citadel and Citadel Securities, they also include a program that encourages employees to join nonprofit boards, backed by personal gifts from Griffin himself. The initiative provides nonprofits with checks of up to $20,000 when Citadel employees take on board roles, as first reported by Bloomberg. Griffin’s funding helps cover board donations and is paired with additional resources, including governance training and nonprofit matching.
