Giving Back In The Communities We Serve

We Help by Giving

Keck + Wood has a long history of giving back to the communities we serve. Just as our work strengthens infrastructure and improves daily life, our volunteer efforts aim to uplift the people and places we call home. This spirit of service lives in our culture and is supported through paid volunteer time and opportunities to contribute meaningfully to the community.

From sponsoring youth athletic leagues and community parades, to volunteering with the Ronald McDonald House and Feed My Starving Children, we truly embody the values of community partnership. The organizations listed below are just a few of the places where we give back.

All Keck + Wood employees are invited to join their colleagues in supporting the many organizations and efforts the firm is involved with throughout the year.

This is best demonstrated in our employee-led Community Reinvestment program, which designates funds to support local governments across Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina. In addition, each employee receives eight hours annually to participate in volunteer activities that are impactful to them and the communities where we live, work, and play.
