Morrison-Maierle Helps Build Better Communities Through Community Support in 2024
In 2024, Morrison-Maierle helped build better communities by donating our time and money to a range of charitable causes and organizations. This supports one of our key strategic plan objectives: being community-focused and engaged.
Last year, we donated over 10% of our net operating profit through cash donations and compensated time. That equates to just over $350,000. This total comes from a combination of sources:
- Local donations selected by our individual offices.
- Company-matched donations—Morrison-Maierle matches individual employee-owner contributions up to $300/year.
- Companywide donations that support our mission of building better communities, including giving a total of $40,000 to the Wounded Warrior Project, Habitat for Humanity, and the Humane Society as part of our annual Season of Sharing campaign.
- Pro bono and donated time.
- Volunteer time off and company-sponsored volunteer efforts.

Each of our offices found opportunities to donate their time and efforts to worthy causes throughout 2024. Last year, we supported a wide range of non-profit organizations. See below for a list of groups and organizations our employee-owners assisted.
