nCino's employee-led volunteer organization, nVolve, embodies the company's values of "Do the Right Thing" and "Make Someone's Day" by sponsoring and supporting projects in various cities, including Wilmington, Salt Lake City, London, Sydney and Toronto.
Through initiatives such as paid volunteer days, donation matching and partnerships with non-profits, nCino empowers its employees to make a positive impact in their communities and live out the company's values.
At nCino, two of our core values are “Do the Right Thing” and “Make Someone’s Day.” nVolve, nCino’s employee-led and company-supported volunteer organization, is one important way we live up to those values.
nVolve sponsors and supports projects, programs and organizations across many of the cities in which our offices are located, including Wilmington NC, Salt Lake City, London, Sydney, and Toronto. Committed to community service, nVolve strives to make a difference by mobilizing nCino employees when and where there is a need.
To support our employees' efforts and make volunteering as easy and accessible as possible, every nCino employee receives two paid volunteer days per year, which they can spend volunteering with the organizations of their choice. Employees can pursue activities on their own, sign up with an nCino affinity group already sponsoring an event, select existing opportunities through nVolve or set up a volunteer day with their teams.
nCino also offers donation matching up to a certain amount per employee per year, encouraging employees to support causes that are important to them. Through these various opportunities, we hope to both “Make Someone’s Day” and “Do the Right Thing” at the same time.

Not only does giving back provide a sense of belonging, it also promotes a true sense of community within nCino. The positive interactions borne out of community involvement, whether in person or online, strengthen and expand our work relationships, which in turn helps drive innovation, collaboration and success.
“nCino believes in the importance of having a presence in its communities,” says Senior Release Manager Margaret Medon, who helps organize weekly cleanups at Wrightsville Beach. “We want to do more than give back monetarily—we want to demonstrate to our communities that we care about where we live and are willing to donate our time and talents, too.”
