Community Impact was as much a priority as ever in 2023 – including volunteering, donating, fundraising, and hosting and attending events. In addition to philanthropic efforts, we also engaged our community through outreach that centered around diversity, equity, and inclusion. This year, Omaha launched its Minority Contractor Development (MCD) Program to mentor small and emerging minority- and women-owned businesses in all aspects of running a commercial construction company. For six months, our Omaha office employees led nine minority contractors through monthly training sessions and modules. The Omaha team also formed a great partnership with Ronald McDonald House Charities in 2023. As we worked on the RMHC tenant finish project, we got to know the organization better as a client and a nonprofit, leading to meaningful volunteer engagement and employee support. Employees made pizza for the RMHC Meals that Heal program, built an igloo for residents and their families to enjoy, participated in fundraising efforts, and engaged residents in a trail project outside the house, helping them to permanently make a mark on their home away from home.
