West Des Moines, Iowa-based R&R Realty Group Foundation launched its Groundwork for Good program, an employee-driven philanthropy that empowers employees to nominate 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations that align with the R&R Foundation’s core giving pillars: human services, community engagement and development, education, and arts and culture.
This marks the first year of the program, with the R&R Foundation proudly donating $25,000 to various employee- nominated organizations.
“As we introduce the Groundwork for Good program, it represents our deep-rooted belief in giving back to the community,” said Mark Rupprecht, President of R&R Realty Group. “This initiative is a natural extension of our company’s commitment to community engagement, and by involving our employees, we are ensuring that these contributions reflect the values we hold close as a team.”
This year’s recipients include:
- Ellipsis
- EveryStep Foundation
- Girls on the Run of Central Iowa
- Healthy Birth Day, Inc.
- Mind & Spirit Counseling Center
- Puppy Jake Foundation
- Single Parent Provision
Kathy Hayes, Executive Director of the R&R Foundation, shared her thoughts on the program’s importance: “The Groundwork for Good program is special because it gives our team the chance to make a real difference in the communities and causes they care about most. It allows them to take pride in supporting organizations that resonate with R&R’s core values, fostering a deeper connection to our mission and each other.”
Through the Groundwork for Good program, R&R Foundation aims to foster a culture of giving and community engagement. To learn more about the program and the impact it has made, visit www.rrrealty.com.
