Giving Back to Our Communities

Challenge

Spaulding Ridge was founded on the belief that business can be a force for good, and we aim to live that belief in all we do. We have a long tradition of philanthropy and volunteerism that aim to leave this world a better place for all. We identified the need to institute a formal structure to keep ourselves accountable and be able to track our impact.

Actions

Our existing somewhat disjointed efforts were aligned under a Corporate Social Responsibility umbrella. At the core, we have employee led committees focused on sustainability, giving time, and charitable contributions. Every year, Spaulding Ridge commits 1% of our net income to organizations doing important charitable work in our communities. We prioritize organizations committed to education and workforce development of underrepresented and under resourced communities. Our employees also donate their time and are encouraged to give back 12 hours of community service a year.

Outcomes

Since 2018, we have donated close to 10,000 hours of volunteer time and over $200k has been contributed to non-profit organizations, with a particular focus on education and workforce development.

I'd say giving is in our DNA. We give our time, our expertise,
& our resources to benefit our communities.
