But a few companies go above and beyond with their philanthropic work, with initiatives like food drives, cancer walks, and even volunteer bonuses. Fortune partner Great Place to Work combed through more than 350,000 staffer surveys to compile this list of the U.S. companies employees feel are doing the best job at giving back. Employees are asked detailed questions about how proud they are of their impact on the community, the difference they feel they make, and whether their work has special meaning. Outtakes of their responses are below.

Employees say: "This is an extraordinarily special place that really cares about its employees, customers, and community. We are strongly encouraged to give back. I have done everything from volunteering in a soup kitchen, to working at a children's hospital in Morocco—all supported by the company. Most importantly, I look forward to coming to work everyday, working with our wonderful community, and doing satisfying, challenging work."

"The thing I think that most separates [Salesforce] from other companies is the focus on giving back. Personally, it provides me with a greater sense of purpose when I come in each day."

Employees say: "One of the outstanding things that I like about working at NuStar is that the company and I share the same moral compass. I enjoy giving back to the community and NuStar not only does the same, but helps provide opportunities for its employees to go above and beyond what each could do as an individual."

"NuStar inspires in its employees a sense of community pride and compassion for those who make up the community. This is demonstrated through the presence of a NuStar Volunteer Council that organizes charitable events for local groups including San Antonio’s Haven for Hope, Ronald McDonald House, and YMCA. All of these events are company-sponsored, manned by NuStar employees, and most occur during work hours. Throughout the NuStar Corpus Christi and South Texas area, NuStar employees volunteered almost 10,000 hours to these and other charitable groups. By making a difference in our company, NuStar employees are well compensated for their efforts, but it is in the community where we receive the most gratification for giving back."

Employees say: "Our employee-funded foundation is a perfect example of why I love to work at Veterans United. From helping a veteran get a service dog to partnering with the Gary Sinise Foundation to get a veteran into a smart home, over 95% of us donate 1% of our paychecks to enhance the lives of those in need, both locally and as far away as our service members overseas. Every week our foundation shows us a new person or family whose lives we have made a little easier. I'm proud to work for a company with the vision for such a foundation and with people who will give that weekly donation to touch someone else's life."

"It is truly an honor to work for this organization. The work that we do for veterans and the charity that Veteran United is involved with is well beyond any other organization that I have ever worked for prior to this one. I am always proud to say that I work for this company and always work my hardest to produce quality, so these veterans can get into their homes."

Employees say: "Everything about this company is unique in my work experience. I was always resistant to working for a big corporation, but joining Intuit was the best career decision I have ever made. I truly love it and intend to spend the rest of my working days here. People truly care about each other and our customers. ... Our dedication to giving back to the community is enviable. I am personally a leader of an employee network and am given the time and support needed to effectively manage the network and plan and execute activities supporting our community. We are known in the area as a very giving organization, and that is really important to me. My friends and family get tired of hearing me talk about how awesome this company is and how much I love my job."

"Intuit is always giving back to the community. It believes so much in giving back that each employee is given 32 paid hours to help out local organizations. This can be used going to work in the food bank for a few hours a month, or participating in your child's school for an hour a week or volunteering at a fundraiser you believe in. In addition, the company will match monetary contributions dollar for dollar as long as the contribution is made to a 501c3. We feel empowered to give back to the community and know Intuit supports us."

The Autodesk Foundation grants thousands of licenses each year to nonprofits and startups meeting our criteria. In addition, each June we host a Global Month of Impact where events are set up at many of the offices and employees are encouraged to donate their time. This year we assembled 3D-printed prosthetic hands. In addition, we are provided time each year to conduct volunteer activities during work time and for every 10 hours that we volunteer and log, employees are allowed to direct $100 to a non-profit of their choice."

"The commitment to community and volunteering really shows the heart behind Deloitte. Every year, we have an Impact Day where we take time away from client service to perform community service. We also conduct fun events like golf tournaments that benefit a charity or foundation in the area. There are many companies that do the consulting and auditing work that Deloitte does, but I haven't been a part of a company that also gives so much back to our local communities."

During my time here we have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for people in need due to disasters in our country and beyond. It's times like these where I feel we are leaving our footprint on the world and giving back."

"There are many things about Ultimate Software that make this a great place to work. The one that makes me feel the most rewarded and proud is the commitment to giving back. That is one of the cornerstones of Ultimate Software’s culture of people first. When a call to donate goes out, the employees always come through with payroll contributions, time, or donating needed items. With charity walks, charity raffles, drives for clothing, school supplies, and food, everyone has the opportunity to contribute in their own way. During a company-wide donation drive, Ultimate Software commits to matching 100% of the employee payroll contributions. Between April and August of 2017, Ultimate Software collected employee donations and, along with a 100% company match, donated between $120,000 to $180,000 to each of the following: the family of a deceased employee of less than a year, the Ecuador earthquake disaster relief, the Canada wildfire disaster relief, Equality Florida for the Orlando Club Shooting, and the Louisiana flood disaster relief."

Patagonia continues to be a leader in the outdoor industry and continues to reassess environmental and community outreach."

"They built a café for us to have organic healthy local food (though we still have to pay for it, of course). We have a large garden outside for produce. We give 1% of all sales to nonprofit organizations. We now have a child care center on site. We are able to take fully paid days to give back to the community and nature. And we get reimbursed a few bucks a day for carpooling, biking, or walking to work."

I think the executive management team is doing a fantastic job of finding ways to make Cadence an increasingly better place to work, which in turn sets a strong foundation for individual and collective excellence.

During this week employees can: donate money while purchasing their lunch in the cafeteria to feed the homeless, participate in the Hay to Beakers Walk—a three mile loop on site that Genentech will donate $25 to children's causes on behalf of every walker, volunteer during work hours for nonprofits, participate in a silent auction to raise money for children's causes, and enter your personal story of giving back in a contest with a chance to win a philanthropic trip to Africa. There are also company groups that provide community outreach opportunities specific to a sector’s business plan and mission statement. For example, the disability group has provided community outreach to several nonprofits that help special needs children. These groups provide development opportunities for employees and provide the community an invaluable amount of volunteer hours by happy, willing. and vested helpers. Win, win."

"Genentech Gives Back is a week where employees give back time to the community. It includes auctions for great experiences or items. The money earned goes to charity. There's an awesome concert with free food and drink and A-list entertainment (Pink and Justin Timberlake, for example) at the end of the week as a thank you for employee participation. Genentech Goes to Town is when the company provides employees with GenenMoney that can be used in the community to support local businesses."

Our foundation and volunteerism isn't just a department or policy—it's really a culture of giving that runs deep in the company DNA. It feels good to be a part of it."

"The amount we encourage people to 'be the change they seek' is wonderful. Recently, for Pride Week, a couple of employees decided that instead of just showing support by marching in the pride parade, we'd actually volunteer to help at a local LGBT shelter. They were inundated with volunteers."

We also did a sales kick off in New Orleans recently, and participated in a Habitat for Humanity event there. VMware always thinks about how we can give back when we have major events."

Employees say: "Our company goes above and beyond with community service projects. We sent a team of volunteers to Alabama when they had the deadly tornadoes a few years back. We've consistently helped out in New Orleans, as that community is still living with the devastation that followed Hurricane Katrina. We are actively involved in a charity called Cinderella’s Closet that donates dresses to underprivileged high school girls to be able to go to prom. Just recently, at a meeting in Orlando, we ordered a blood donation bus for employees to give blood to the Pulse Nightclub terrorist attack victims that took place two weeks prior. We also had a link at our meeting to donate to the GoFundMe page for these victims and their families. I'm not even scratching the surface here. The list of community service initiatives goes on and on."

"I've never worked for a company that gives so much back to the community and allows its employees to take part in charitable activities during work hours. I've always been really impressed by this! I recently participated in a boat race with 40 other Novo Nordisk women. I noticed that our team stood out from the other teams because it was obvious how proud we all were to be representing Novo Nordisk. Maybe that's why we won!"

Employees say: "The product that we produce here at Stryker has a direct impact on patients everyday. Our product is used in people's times of need, be it an emergency or planned hospital stay. It really makes you realize how special of a place Stryker is when you visit a loved one in the hospital and they are laying on a Stryker bed. My son was born in a Stryker maternity bed and my grandparents have passed away in Stryker beds and stretchers. It gives you an awareness that the product we build is important to so many people at pivotal times in their lives."

"Just the other day my supervisor told us in a meeting that she received an email she wanted to read to us. It was from another cell supervisor, about an elderly lady who had hip surgery using our products.

She provided all the information she could about the parts that were now in her body. She asked if that supervisor could find all the people that worked on those parts. I was one of them. Just hearing this story in the meeting was so uplifting because I contributed to someone else’s wellbeing and happiness. Lastly she asked if all the people that worked on those parts could take a group picture so she can see our faces. It is amazing what we do here, and it was an amazing experience hearing this story."

Employees say: "Beyond the general perks, for me the heart of the company is its understanding that a great work environment encourages not just the work we do, but the full human experience. Cornerstone's emphasis on giving back with the Cornerstone Foundation, building skateboards with underprivileged youth as a part of new hire orientation, child mentorship programs like Spark, encouraging Cornerstars to vote in the upcoming election, and having marathons, triathlons, and walks throughout the year for various charities are a constant reminder that we as an organization are more than simply the sum of our parts. We have a corporate responsibility to give back, and it's so refreshing to see the company hold true to its roots, even with all the growth that has occurred over the past few years."

"I've worked for several of Cornerstone's competitors, and there are a few things that stood out for me about Cornerstone that helped me decide this is the company I wanted to work for. First, Cornerstone has a team called Cornerstone Foundation that focuses solely on how Cornerstone gives back to the community and how we as employees can get involved in helping to make this world a better place. As a matter of fact, at my new-hire orientation, we spent part of one day working with a group of kids to help them create and build their own skateboards—pretty cool. Another thing that sets Cornerstone apart is that they invest in small startup tech companies, providing them with free office space within the Cornerstone headquarters and access to resources to help them grow their business. Amazing."

All of these events are company sponsored, manned by NuStar employees, and most occur during work hours.Throughout the NuStar Corpus Christi and South Texas area, NuStar employees volunteered almost 10,000 hours to these and other charitable groups.

From helping a veteran get a service dog to partnering with the Gary Sinise Foundation to get a veteran into a smart home, over 95% of us donate 1% of our paychecks to enhance the lives of those in need, both locally and as far away as our service members overseas.

I'm proud to work for a company with the vision for such a foundation and with people who will give that weekly donation to touch someone else's life."

"It is truly an honor to work for this organization. The work that we do for veterans and the charity that Veteran United is involved with is well beyond any other organization that I have ever worked for prior to this one.

I truly love it and intend to spend the rest of my working days here. People truly care about each other and our customers. We are treated with dignity and respect and are compensated very generously. Our benefits and additional perks that are offered are unparalleled in this area. Our dedication to giving back to the community is enviable. I am personally a leader of an employee network and am given the time and support needed to effectively manage the network and plan and execute activities supporting our community. We are known in our community as a very giving organization and that is really important to me. My friends and family get tired of hearing me talk about how awesome this company is and how much I love my job."

"Intuit is always giving back to the community. It believes so much in giving back that each employee is given 32 paid hours to help out in the community. This can be used going to work in the food bank for a few hours a month or participating in your child's school for an hour a week or volunteering at a fundraiser you believe in. In addition, the company will match monetary contributions dollar for dollar as long as the contribution is made to a 501c3.

The one that makes me feel the most rewarded and proud to be a part of this amazing company is the commitment to giving back. That is one of the cornerstones of Ultimate Software’s culture of people first. When a call to donate goes out, the employees always come through with payroll contributions, time, or donating needed items. With charity walks, charity raffles, drives for clothing, school supplies, and food, everyone has the opportunity to contribute in their own way. During a company-wide donation drive, Ultimate Software commits to matching 100% of the employee payroll contributions. Between April and August of 2017, Ultimate Software collected employee donations and, along with a 100% company match, donated between $120,000 to $180,000 to each of the following: the family of a deceased employee of less than a year, the Ecuador earthquake disaster relief, the Canada wildfire disaster relief, Equality Florida for the Orlando Club Shooting, and the Louisiana flood disaster relief."

"I love Ultimate Software because they do follow their motto of "people first". During my time here we have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for people in need due to disasters in our country and beyond. It's times like these where I feel we are leaving our footprint on the world and giving back."
