MONROE - The Colony Brands Associate Donation Program started seven years ago as a way to involve Colony Brands team members in giving back to local communities, a long-time core value at the company. This year, the program reached a milestone with over $1 million donated over the course of seven years, including over $152,000 corporate-wide this year alone.
The program is funded above and beyond other corporate giving. John Baumann, Colony Brands president and CEO, said that this program is very well-received among employees. After one year of service with the company, employees are granted a dollar amount for each year of their service and given several local non-profit organizations to choose from to donate their designated dollars.
In 2017, 20 organizations in the Monroe and Green County area received donations from the program. In addition, over 50 other organizations that serve other Colony Brands facility locations will benefit from the Associate Donation Program.
