Throughout its history, Atkins has developed a corporate culture that encourages the passion of individual employees for service to their local communities. This desire to give back to the communities in which we live and work has been a hallmark of our company for many years.

To evolve, elevate, and focus our philanthropic efforts, The Atkins Foundation was established. Since 2005, we have given more than $1.5 million to local community agencies and universities across the United States. Through our 501(c) (3) foundation, Atkins and its subsidiaries are provided the tools and ability to promote and support education initiatives, public programs focused on supporting those impacted by natural and man-made disasters, and the interests and welfare of other public charities championed by our employees.

Today, The Atkins Foundation is the umbrella under which our primary philanthropic programs operate in the US. Organizations that have benefited from Foundation grants include: the Seminole Community College Foundation (Florida); Contemporary Science Center (North Carolina); Girl Scout Council of Tropical Florida, Inc.; Sixth Grade Science Alliance (California); Henderson Community Foundation’s APPLE CORE (Nevada); and Women’s Transportation Seminar (nationwide); as well as our own signature program, Kidsclass (nationwide)—just to name a few.

The Atkins Foundation also supports the company’s long-running scholarship program for minorities in engineering programs and numerous other deserving scholarship programs sponsored by industry associations and universities across the US.

Working With Our Communities

Being a Good Neighbor

We will support our people in their own communities around the world through local charitable donations, fundraising, volunteer activities, and other events.

Openly Reporting on Our Community Involvement

We will encourage our locations to actively provide information on community support and publish the results in our Corporate Responsibility report.
