SALT LAKE CITY, May 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Progressive
Leasing, a leading provider of in-store and e-commerce
lease-to-own solutions owned by fintech holding company PROG
Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:PRG), has donated $25,000 to AmeriCares in support of their
efforts to combat India's COVID-19
crisis. Thanks to a current AmeriCares matching program, the
company's donation will result in $50,000 to provide life-saving equipment, protect
health care workers, and educate community members on how to
prevent the spread of COVID-19 across India.
Progressive Leasing is also matching all individual
employee donations to AmeriCares through its employee gift matching
program, which supports the company's efforts to drive corporate
impact, social responsibility, and charitable giving.
"As COVID cases continue to decline in the US, India is in the midst of a critical emergency,
with infection rates and deaths at alarming levels and millions of
people with little to no access to medical education or services,"
said Steve Michaels, President and
CEO of PROG Holdings, Progressive Leasing's parent company. "It's a
heartbreaking situation that hits close to home for our employees
with extended family in India, and
for many of our customers. We are grateful to partner with
AmeriCares to help provide support and education for the
communities in India that need it
most."
To honor one of the company's core values, "We Value People
Above All Else," Progressive Leasing partners with global,
national, and community outreach and non-profit programs. Employees also have the opportunity to
nominate non-profit groups to receive company sponsored
donations as part of its popular weekly charitable partner
