McCORMICK TAYLOR SUPPORTS LGBTQ+ ORGANIZATIONS

Diversity Equity And Inclusion

In the spirit of Giving Tuesday, McCormick Taylor is highlighting two of the organizations we are proud to have supported in 2021. Celebrating and lifting up the LGBTQ+ community is important year-round, and McCormick Taylor’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee was pleased to request funds for both of these important organizations.

About McCormick Taylor's Charity Committee

Over the years, we’ve realized that the passion our people have for the charities and organizations they care about helps shape their personalities and drive them to succeed and we wanted to be a part of that. In 2017, we created a Charity Committee that is responsible for reviewing requests for charitable donations and allocating funds on behalf of the company. By becoming involved with our employees’ different organizations, programs, and charities, we grow closer to our employees and the places we call home.
