Giving Back in 2018

At CDM Smith, we strive to be an integral part of the communities we serve and recognize that our actions define the relationships we develop. For this reason, our firm and employees give back to nonprofit organizations and causes that we care about on a regular basis. In 2018, we touched thousands through numerous volunteering efforts, fundraising events and donations raised in CDM Smith offices around the world, and had some fun while we were at it! Here’s some of the ways we made an impact:

CDM Smith Cares

Every year, we empower our employees to rally around causes that align with our values and find ways to make a difference in their neighborhoods. The grassroots efforts that spring out of our CDM Smith Cares program never cease to amaze us!

At the end of each quarter, our employees pool together their millions of points to support nonprofit organizations that could use our help.

Water for People Giving Campaign

For 14 years, CDM Smith employees have committed strongly to Water For People (WFP), whose mission closely resembles that of our own, “to promote the development of high-quality drinking water and sanitation services, accessible to all.” In support of this essential mission, dozens of CDM Smith offices have campaigned for employee payroll contributions and one-time donations, and hosted fundraising events, reaffirming our giving partnership with WFP, time and time again.

In 2018, our WFP campaign resulted in…

We believe that our firm can have the most positive impact on the world when our employees are provided the tools and motivation to live healthier, better lives and support charities that share our same passion and outlook. By prioritizing giving back, CDM Smith has proudly contributed nearly $310,000 to charitable causes in 2018. These efforts have helped us sustain a passionate workforce that is eager to perform and strives to forge stronger ties with the communities we serve.
