COMMUNITY IMPACT
JE Dunn’s commitment to giving back and serving others can be traced to our very origin. John Ernest Dunn (Ernie), founder of JE Dunn, established a culture of giving within the company long before our cranes reached skyward, and our offices stretched from coast to coast.
JE Dunn’s corporate philanthropy impacts the many markets around the nation where we build, investing 10% of net income and empowering our employees to make an impact through volunteerism and an Employee Match Program.
LOCAL TAMPA COMMUNITY
The JE Dunn Tampa team has a big heart that loves to make a community impact. One of our favorite activities from this year was Feeding Tampa Bay. Our office served warm meals at Trinity Café to over 150+ people each day. Between our office team and family members, we had 20 volunteers participate in this activity. This engaging activity includes offering and serving someone who needs a warm complete meal along with a conversation or simple company which might be the best thing that person could have that day, or maybe that week. Serving and making a positive impact on someone else gives a sense of purpose and belonging to the community, and that’s only part of our commitment from the Tampa office.
“Service at its most basic level is, in fact, leadership. It is our job and our privilege to serve in the communities where we live, work, and play. Our projects have significant impacts on the lives of our clients. Our legacy is the impact we make through our servant leadership and most importantly, how we make them feel.”
– Jake Nellis, Tampa Office Leader
