We're Making a Difference
In our industry. Throughout our communities. Across the globe.
Our employees’ passion for their work goes beyond the workplace. They are active members of professional organizations, they volunteer their time and expertise to charitable causes, and they lead programs that will inspire the next generation of industry professionals.
Whenever possible, we support our employees’ efforts to make a difference in the industry and in their communities. From paying membership dues and providing meeting space to covering the cost of a plane ticket, we’re here to help amplify their impact on both charitable and industry-based organizations.
Great Things Happen When People Give Back to Their Communities
Volunteer
By creating opportunities for our employees to volunteer alongside their coworkers, we have a positive impact on communities near and far.

We donate resources to local, national and global organizations that are working to support causes we can all stand behind.
Educate
To inspire and support the next generation, we teach classes, lead enrichment programs and provide thousands of dollars in college scholarships.
Supporting Worthy Causes
Through various giving initiatives, Benesch supports the communities where our employees live and work.
Encouraging Global Giving
Benesch’s Key Partner Program was developed to connect employees with non-profit organizations related to their profession and to support their volunteer efforts. Over the years, employees have used the program to pursue incredible volunteer opportunities around the world.
Serving as a travel mentor for the Engineers Without Borders – University of Colorado-Boulder chapter, Benesch Project Manager Travis Greiman joined students on a trip to Rwanda to observe the installation of a rainwater catchment system they designed to provide potable water to a rural village.
Travis provided both technical (guidance on design, construction, local construction practices, etc.) and non-technical (guidance on the local culture, international travel and other related topics) support to the students as they worked to help various communities.
I love participating as a mentor, watching students process everything and helping them attain a new understanding of life through the travel experience.
Most students who travel on these trips return to the U.S. with an altered worldview that makes them better students, engineers and members of the global community. I am grateful to witness that transformation.

Through our Key Partner Program, Benesch donated funds to offset the travel costs the organization would need to raise for Travis to accompany the students as a travel mentor.
Advancing the Industry
Every day, Benesch employees lend their expertise and passion to local and national professional organizations focused on advancing the industry.
Our experienced professionals can be found joining boards, leading committees, mentoring peers and contributing to the creation of industry standards and best practices. They have earned countless awards and extensive praise for their continued commitment to the industry. Their efforts are routinely recognized by industry-leading organizations including ACEC, AREMA, ASHE, ASCE, NSPE and WTS.
