A Message from Our Chairman —
At Genworth, we’ve made a promise to help millions of people
around the world secure their financial lives, families and futures.
We do so through the products and services we provide and
through our commitment to make a difference in the communities
in which we live and work.
The Genworth Foundation invests in organizations that are shaping
a brighter future for underserved youth through mentoring and
after-school programs; caring for older adults by providing access
to information on health and aging, supporting caregivers and
enabling independent living; and helping provide what’s needed
through tough times and natural disasters.
Our efforts are complemented by the dedication of hundreds
of partner organizations and agencies who work diligently every
day to identify and fill needs in our communities.
Our actions are fueled by the passion of our 6,400 employees
across 25 countries. The enthusiasm and impact of their efforts
has been truly remarkable as they have offered their time, energy,
creativity and expertise—dedicating thousands of volunteer hours
to help our neighbors in need.
Join us as we share an overview of our 2011 giving.
Leon Roday
Chairman, Genworth Foundation

Shaping a Brighter Future Young people are the promise of the future, and the Genworth Foundation
has a focused commitment to help students strengthen their academic
performance, build life skills and improve financial literacy.
Caring for Older Adults As the population of adults who are age 65 and older increases, we are
helping local communities prepare for the growing age wave. We fund
programs that provide access to information on health and aging, offer
support for family caregivers, and enable independent living. We are
especially compassionate for those suffering from Alzheimer’s disease
and those who care for them.
Helping Provide What’s Needed We align with local and global organizations to support the delivery of
temporary food, shelter and clothing. We also invest in key partnerships
to keep families in their homes and help prevent foreclosures during times
of economic distress.
The Genworth Foundation is committed to improving the world around us by investing in organizations that are making a difference in communities where we live and work. We make direct investments in the community through charitable grants and matching gifts each year.
Providing grants to nonprofit organizations around the globe to help enrich the lives of our neighbors, support bold ideas, promote collaboration and make a long-term impact, we focus on three key areas:

Shaping a Brighter Future
Genworth employees believe that mentoring and tutoring underserved youth is one of the most effective ways to make a difference in a child’s life and establish the foundation for future success. We commit our time and dollars to brighten the future for hundreds of students each year, especially those most at risk of academic failure and dropping out of school.
GenPals Big Reveal Studies show that elementary school students benefit
significantly from having a pen pal — from improving reading
and writing skills to relationship building and social development.
Our GenPals program does just that.
GenPals matches students in Richmond and Lynchburg, Virginia
with a Genworth volunteer. The pals correspond monthly
discussing what’s going on in the student’s life, school work
and plans for the future. The Genworth volunteers mentor the
students and foster a positive environment for the students to
practice their writing skills.
After a year of exchanging cards and letters, students receive an
opportunity to meet their GenPals in person at a Big Reveal Lunch
Event in May. Students and teachers are treated to lunch and a
tour of the Genworth facility to see what it’s like in the workplace.
“Our students really enjoyed their
Genpals’ letters. We commend
you for your generosity and
commitment to the community.
Every volunteer and partnership is
making a significant difference.”
— Wilma K. Battle, Clarks Springs Elementary School Principal, Richmond, Virginia

“Building a trusting relationship
with a young adult and
encouraging them to see
their future as one filled with
possibilities and options is not
only tremendously satisfying and
fun, but I’ve found (unexpectedly)
that those conversations actually
rejuvenate my own perceptions
of my future and how lucky I am.
It’s really true that with mentoring
you will almost certainly receive
significantly more than you
expend!” — Dan Healy, Assistant Controller, Genworth, Richmond, Virginia
Shaping a Brighter Future
“Genworth was really generous
to us, and the volunteers were a
big help. The kids — if you ask
any one of them — would say this
field day was the best ever. They
did nothing but talk about how
awesome it was, and they’re still
talking about it.” — Connie Walters, Johnson Elementary School Principal, Richmond, Virginia
The Power of Mentoring – Middle School Renaissance Genworth and other leading Richmond, Virginia companies are
working together to support Richmond City Public School’s Middle
School Renaissance program. In 2011, 20 volunteers dedicated
more than 200 hours mentoring and tutoring underserved 6th
grade students throughout the school year.
Partnering Throughout the Year – Johnson Elementary School As part of Genworth’s ongoing commitment to help address the
needs of underserved schools, Genworth regularly partners with
Johnson Elementary in Richmond, Virginia. More than 50 Genworth
employees volunteer to support students throughout the school
year by mentoring through the Big Brothers and Big Sisters program
and providing financial education in conjunction with Junior
Achievement of Central Virginia.
In the spring of 2011, the annual field day at Johnson Elementary
School was in jeopardy. The school’s playing fields were under
construction and not suitable for the day’s events. Fortunately,
the Genworth Headquarters campus was nearby, offering an ideal
location for the event and plenty of volunteers.
Genworth was pleased to host the 500 students and faculty,
providing more than 70 volunteers and covering the cost of the
event. Field day attractions included 19 different activity stations,
a misting tent, snow cones and a visit from Radio Disney to
encourage students to put on their dancing shoes.

Putts4Charity® Through the support of our Putts4Charity initiative, the Genworth
Foundation donated nearly €200,000 in 2011 to benefit SOS
Children’s Villages in the UK, Germany, France, Spain, Portugal
and Sweden, as well as Barnardo’s Children’s Charity in Ireland.
Money was raised at various golf events throughout the
year. For example, in the spring, eight leading European Tour
professionals were put to the test ahead of the 2011 Portugal
Masters and succeeded in raising €45,000 through the Genworth
Putts4Charity Pro Champions’ Challenge.
The real winners from Putts4Charity were the more than 600
at-risk children and young adults living in SOS Children’s Villages
across Europe. SOS Children’s Villages, an internationally
recognized nonprofit organization dedicated to helping children
reach their full potential, utilized funding to support essential
educational programs and teaching materials — all building
blocks for a successful future.
“SOS Children’s Villages prepares
at-risk children to become
independent, financially stable
adults who are involved with their
communities. The Genworth
Foundation’s support of SOS
educational programs throughout
Europe provides these children
with a bridge to stability, thus
helping to break the cycle of
poverty.” — John Allen, Chief Executive Officer, SOS Children’s Villages – USA

volunteer activities throughout the year. Additionally, the
company recognizes June as the Global Month of Service,
providing organized, often on-campus, activities that

Caring for Older Adults
We are focused on helping to ensure that the older adults in our communities receive the care that they deserve. We fund programs that provide access to information on health and aging, offer support for family caregivers and enable independent living.
“As Chairman of the Board of
Circle Center Adult Day, I get
to bring my talents and the
Genworth Foundation’s support
to a first class organization that
helps older adults maintain as
much independence as possible
and to live with dignity and
purpose. In return, I get to learn
firsthand what’s required to
deliver long term care services to
the community, which allows me
to better serve our customers.”
— Mike Heard, SVP, Business Strategy & Product Support, Genworth, Richmond, Virginia

Alzheimer’s Association and the Walk to End Alzheimer’sTM As a leader in the long-term care insurance industry, Genworth has
seen firsthand through our policyholder claims the devastation, both
emotional and financial, that Alzheimer’s disease and its associated
dementias have caused millions of Americans and their families.
That is why Genworth and the Genworth Foundation are proud to
support the Alzheimer’s Association and the annual Walk to End
Alzheimer’s.
In 2011, Genworth employees organized 108 teams (more than
1,000 walkers) and raised $118,045 to help the cause.
In our San Rafael, California office, representing a contingent of our
Long Term Care Insurance Claims team — a group who hears from
the families of those afflicted by this incurable disease every day —
laced up their walking shoes to participate in walks in San Francisco
and Petaluma. They also held a bake sale and auction that raised
$3,000 in individual contributions. That’s just one example of how
Genworth employees volunteer to support and participate in walks
across the country each year.

Caring for Older Adults
Today, 5.4 million Americans are
living with Alzheimer’s disease —
5.2 million aged 65 and over;
200,000 with younger-onset
Alzheimer’s. By 2050, as many
as 16 million Americans will have
the disease.
Two-thirds of those with the
disease — 3.4 million — are
women.
Of Americans aged 65 and over,
1 in 8 has Alzheimer’s and nearly
half of people aged 85 and
older have the disease.
Another American develops
Alzheimer’s disease every 69
seconds. In 2050, an American
will develop the disease every
33 seconds. Source: Alzheimer’s Association

Helping Provide What’s Needed
Building Five Homes — Habitat for Humanity Prince Edward Island At Genworth, we provide mortgage insurance that helps consumers
achieve home ownership. We know the importance of, and take to
heart, helping people get in — and stay in — their homes.
In 2011, we were proud to be one of several companies partnering
with Habitat for Humanity Prince Edward Island, Canada to help
build five homes, providing even more families the opportunity
to enjoy home ownership.
Genworth volunteers, Ruth Roussy and Chris Johnson, pictured,
invited ten customers — including brokers, mortgage specialists
and retail branch lenders — to help with the build. Throughout the
day, the group worked on three Charlottetown builds sites that
were all being completed at the same time and on the same street.
Additionally, they were able to present a check for CAD $6,000 to
support additional 2011 Habitat for Humanity build initiatives.
Genworth volunteers also helped Habitat for Humanity in Lynchburg
and Richmond, Virginia; Raleigh, North Carolina; Pleasant Hill,
California; Stamford, Connecticut; Poland and Great Britain.
At Genworth, we believe in supporting organizations that provide safe and affordable homes and that meet other critical basic needs, such as food and clothing. Our mission to do so has reached into our local communities around the globe.
“It was a great day of fun and
partnership. One of our lending
partners enjoyed it so much they
have started to look into hosting
their own Adopt-a-Day build day.” — Ruth Roussy, Vice President, Atlantic, Genworth Financial Canada, Mortgage Insurance

Helping Provide What’s Needed
Helping the Disabled — Forsight Foundation In Sydney, Australia, Genworth volunteers spent a day repainting
the home of four residents who have a range of sensory
disabilities and are being assisted by the Forsight Foundation.
The Foundation works with its disabled residents and their
families, currently operating eight homes for 34 disabled
adults in the western and north western areas of Sydney.
Twenty volunteers from Genworth divided into three teams,
with the responsibility of painting three bedrooms and two
living rooms. The volunteers enjoyed the opportunity to spend
time together, build rapport and participate in some friendly
competition. What they found to be most impactful however,
was watching the reaction of the four residents and their
caregivers who were delighted with the fresh, brighter living
environment.
“We had all been having fun
throughout the day, but it was
the moment that Coral walked in
to the freshly painted room and
her face lit up. It’s very powerful
when you can help people who
are less fortunate than yourself.
It’s an implicitly rewarding thing.” — Miles Burge, HR Director, Genworth, Sydney, Australia
United Way Through our partnership with United Way, we have been able to provide
health, safety and education to thousands of people in our local areas.
During our 2011 U.S. United Way campaign, our employee participation
grew to 54 percent (up seven percent from the prior year) raising over
$1 million to assist those in need. Additionally, the Genworth Foundation,
Genworth Canada and its employees across the country contributed
CAD $117,204 to help the United Way address the most pressing issues
in local communities.

Recognizing Our 2011 Volunteer of the Year
We would like to introduce Irene O’Sullivan, our 2011 Volunteer of the Year. Irene — based in Shannon, Ireland — is an audit consultant for Genworth Lifestyle Protection Insurance.
“The volunteers went beyond the
call of duty; not alone did they
paint the ceilings, doors, skirting
boards and walls but they also left
the house tidy and washed floors
etc. We will be forever indebted
for your wonderful gift to us.” — Frances Heagney, Ennis Day Centre, Clinical Nurse Specialist
Irene is an example to us all — passionate about the value of
volunteering and the difference that we each can make as
individuals and as a team. She is recognized by her peers as
demonstrating great compassion. And, clearly, she’s a leader —
encouraging and supporting other volunteers and charities.
In 2011, Irene organized 18 events supporting eight local charities,
including the Pieta House — a suicide and self harm crisis center.
She successfully engaged 300 volunteers who contributed 800
volunteer hours.
Irene is credited with project managing Shannon’s, biggest
volunteer painting project. Over five days, 35 volunteers
dedicated 175 hours painting The Home for the Elderly.
