DETROIT, Dec. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Ally Financial is showing its appreciation for its dealer customers this holiday season with a series of donations across the country targeted at dealership employees and communities facing adversity. In all, Ally will give approximately $50,000 to help dealership employees and communities overcome the impacts of hurricanes, fires, floods and other personal setbacks.
"We care about our dealers and these holiday gifts are a way to show we are here to support them," said Doug Timmerman, president of Ally Auto Finance. "For those dealers who have weathered particularly challenging circumstances, some extra support can boost the wellbeing of their employees, businesses and communities."
The holiday dealership donations being made by Ally this month include:
Ally's holiday dealer giving follows its "Banksgiving" campaign, in which Ally surprised bank customers who called the customer service line by granting their wishes big and small, whether it was a $25 gift card or an overseas trip to visit loved ones.
"Ultimately, we owe our success to our customers and this is about giving back to our dealer customers to show how much we appreciate them," Timmerman said. "Major life disruptions can make it more challenging to celebrate holiday traditions and we're hopeful these gifts will make a difference to these employees and communities as they overcome tough situations."
Giving back is inherent to Ally and its brand promise to "Do It Right." Ally designates November as Giving Back Month, when its employees support their local communities by donating time and money. Ally encourages employees to give back by offering eight hours of personal time off for volunteering ? and Ally matches the volunteer time by giving a $25 donation to the employee's chosen charity for each hour volunteered. Last year Ally employees volunteered more than 17,000 hours and the company donated $800,000 through this program.
