Charitable giving is one of many ways we strive to fulfill our commitment to serving local communities.

Charitable giving is one of many ways we strive to fulfill our commitment to serving local communities. Our charitable contributions align with many of the initiatives and organizations our employees support and for which they volunteer. In 2022, we donated $369,859 to humanitarian causes and organizations, including the ACE Mentor Program, the Salvadori Center, Direct Relief for Ukraine and the American Red Cross.

We’re a major sponsor of the Thornton Tomasetti Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization that funds scholarships and assists organizations that engage in philanthropic activities related to structural engineering, design and technology.

Regional offices were responsible for 13% of our 2022 contributions. They supported a variety of local causes that speak to the culture of each Thornton Tomasetti community, including the Alzheimer’s Association (Chicago), the City Parks Foundation (New York), St. Francis Food Pantry (New York) and Race for Every Child (Washington, D.C.).
In 2022, we continued to put our service work with, and associated sponsorship of, Bridges to Prosperity.

In 2022, we continued to put our service work with, and associated sponsorship of, Bridges to Prosperity on hold due to ongoing safety concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic. But in summer 2023, 10 employees will once again travel to Rwanda with the organization to construct a footbridge in an isolated rural community, facilitating access to economic and educational opportunities.

Total charitable donations grew by 21% over the previous year, and our full scope of charitable giving is estimated at more than 1% of our net profits. This accounts for donations of over 1,955 hours of staff time toward community volunteerism, the ACE Mentor Program, and lecturing at colleges and universities. We also regularly provide pro bono professional services to nonprofit clients.

Canstruction competitions encourage design professionals to build structures from donated cans of food that go to people in need. Our 2022 can-structure, “Erasing Hunger,” celebrates the firms that are helping to fight hunger in New York City.
Companies like ours, with the power to make a difference, have a social responsibility to improve the world. See How We Do It - Our 2022 Corporate Responsibility Report
