For seven decades, we have believed in the value of serving our communities. This commitment to giving back isn’t driven by obligation, but by conviction—a fundamental belief that has shaped our identity and guided our actions year after year. It’s woven into who we are as employees, colleagues, and neighbors across the Carolinas, informing not just what we do, but how we approach every challenge we face.
Our employees work shoulder-to-shoulder with organizations who share our vision for thriving communities, investing time and resources where they matter most in nonprofits addressing critical needs. This isn’t corporate charity or box-checking philanthropy. It’s genuine engagement rooted in understanding that strong communities create stronger businesses and better outcomes for everyone.
What sets our community engagement apart is its authenticity and depth. Beyond firm-sponsored initiatives and organized volunteer days, our people actively serve in civic organizations, religious institutions, and community boards throughout North and South Carolina. They chair fundraising committees, mentor young professionals, and advocate for causes they’re passionate about. They lead because they choose to, not because they’re asked to, creating ripple effects of positive change that extend far beyond our office walls. This grassroots involvement reflects a culture where community service isn’t separate from our professional lives but exists as an integral part of who we are.
