- Employee Giving Campaign – Infor will match up to 50,000 of employee donations made to Habitat.
- Annual Global Village Build – employees can take part in a nine-day building project to provide housing in partnership with a family in La Gallina, Nicaragua.
In total, Infor has committed up to 500,000 to fund house builds and offset operational costs for Habitat for Humanity.
