Giving & Outreach

Giving back to our community is part of who we are. At Burns & McDonnell, it's what we want to do. Our employee-owners are committed to the communities where we live and work — to nourishing our communities to become healthy and strong. Through the work of our company and the Burns & McDonnell Foundation, we share our passion with specific, targeted efforts. We provide financial support, but we also teach. We swim, walk and run to raise funds. We paint and plant. We create and support exciting educational programs, and we nurture young people into thinking big.

The Burns & McDonnell Foundation was formed by our employee-owners — to reflect our strong belief in corporate citizenship and philanthropy. Like most foundations, we receive more requests than there are funds available, and we work diligently to determine the efforts that best reflect the interests of our employees and support the foundation’s mission.

Our giving, volunteering and grant programs are primarily directed in four strategic areas: Education, Community Development, Health, and Arts & Culture.
