In the Community

The MJ Companies are dedicated to inspiring the success, fulfillment, and wellbeing of each person we serve.

That includes giving back to the communities where we live and work and supporting local organizations that are making a positive difference. Our associate volunteer service hours and charitable donation matching programs are designed to reinforce and encourage our culture of giving back to the community. Finding purpose is important to us.

Every two years, The MJ Companies chooses four charitable organizations—one in Indianapolis, one in Denver, one in Phoenix, and one in Nashville—where we focus much of our time and resources. To best serve our communities, we take a more focused approach by concentrating on three local charities of choice where we get actively involved in the organization itself.
