In the midst economic uncertainty for many charitable organizations, the Holmes Murphy Foundation selects 29 to donate funds to as part of its Giving Back Program.

Holmes Murphy is excited to announce its more than $100,000 donation to 29 different non-profit organizations through the Holmes Murphy Foundation Giving Back Program.

“Despite the current situation we’re all in with COVID-19 and economic uncertainties, we wanted to continue our mission of giving back to our communities,” said Dan Keough, Holmes Murphy Chairman & CEO. “Now, more than ever, many organizations are in need of our help and support, and we will be there for them.”

The Holmes Murphy Foundation elected to take a more localized approach to its giving strategy for 2020, allowing employees to select 501(c)(3) or non-profit organizations in their specific geographical locations that align with the Holmes Murphy Foundation giving pillars of Youth Education (At-Risk), Health & Human Services, Arts & Culture, and Diversity & Inclusion.
