A key component of ReArch Company’s corporate mission has always been giving back to our communities. This philosophy is embodied in a portion of our Mission Statement, as follows: ReArch will be a recognized and well-respected leader, in the project development and construction industry, through supporting our communities by being involved, engaged, and philanthropic.
ReArch Company, Inc. has committed to donating a substantial percentage of our profit every year to local charities and organizations working towards bettering people’s lives in our communities. Starting in 2019, we implemented an employee-driven donation program that allows employees to submit donation requests for fundamental causes important to them and their communities.
This year, $28,000 was available for the employee-driven portion of ReArch’s philanthropy program. We are thrilled to announce that we could contribute to all (12) employee submission requests received. Below is the list of employees’ who submitted, along with their cause:
