JE Dunn Construction Centennial Community Campaign Awards Building a Legacy Grants to Local Nonprofits

Programming example

From a wild idea to an incredible year of confetti cannons, balloon drops, and tears of joy...JE Dunn Construction's centennial community campaign was an experience I'll never forget. Our employees nominated and selected 10 incredible organizations to receive a $100,000 hashtag#BuildingALegacy donation in 2024, an extra million dollars of impact in our local communities as we celebrated 100 years (on top of a centennial partnership with the Kansas City Royals!). But what made the experience truly meaningful? The fact that every single grant revealed genuine relationship, compassion, and commitment between our employees and the nonprofits we serve. This company and these people are truly special. hashtag#JEDunnGivesBackw/ Gordon, Tim, Beth, Jeff, Maria, Kali, Christina, Caroline, Annie, Mena, Chris, Callie, Emily, Chris, Indria, Matt, Lyndsie, Tabitha, Drew, Will, Alice, Ava, Clay, Kirk, Monty, Alex, Curtis, Sam, Sydney, Chuck, Brian, Richard, Nick, Susan, Lek, Camila, Mac, Kate, and 4,000+ other employees! ------P.S. For anyone considering a career in corporate philanthropy, let me be clear...this world is not all confetti cannons and celebrations. In fact, there are way more "No's" than "Yes's", and so many painful moments / decisions (especially for those of us with nonprofit backgrounds, who once were responsible for making those fundraising asks!). But wow, the privilege and honor of serving the 1,000+ nonprofits that JE Dunn and our employees support...totally worth it.
