Corporate Citizenship
MainStreet Advisors recognizes and values the importance of giving back, and to that end our employees are actively involved in a variety of charitable organizations.
As a firm, MainStreet Advisors’ employees regularly volunteer their time and resources to A Just Harvest community kitchen. A Just Harvest began as a ministry of the Good News Community Church (UCC) in 1983 and began serving meals a few days per week in the "North of Howard" neighborhood of Rogers Park, on the farthest northern border of Chicago. Today, with the help of more than 30 partnering congregations and community organizations, it is the highest capacity community kitchen in the metropolitan Chicago area and is the only community kitchen that serves a hot nutritious meal 365 days per year.
Additionally, MainStreet Advisors recently participated in the JP Morgan Chase & Co. Corporate Challenge which was held on May 27, 2010. On a comfortable, windy night a total of 19,865 runners and walkers from 557 Chicagoland businesses gathered to participate in this 3.5-mile run/walk which took place near the shores of Lake Michigan. In 2010, the Greater Chicago Food Depository received a donation for each entry and participating companies contributed to advance, online and on-site food drives, with a goal of collecting 20,000 pounds of food for distribution at over 650 pantries, soup kitchens and shelters.
MainStreet Advisors partners with clients in support of shared initiatives, and through this partnership our collective impact is great. Members of our firm recently teamed up with one of our clients to assist the Navajo Ministries in Farmington, New Mexico. Navajo Ministries serves people, primarily the Navajo, in the Four Corners region of New Mexico, Arizona, Utah and Colorado. Since 1953, the Navajo Ministries have helped meet the physical, emotional, educational and spiritual needs of Navajo families and children. Our support helps build a future for Navajo families through programs that establish self-sufficiency, resilience and Christian family values.
MainStreet Advisors is also committed to environmental preservation and has made contributions in support of Trout Unlimited. Since 1959, Trout Unlimited has worked to conserve, protect and restore North America’s cold water fisheries and their watersheds. They have protected more than 10,000 river miles nationwide and pioneered new scientific, legal and legislative tools to make America’s rivers cleaner and healthier. With the support of MainStreet Advisors, Trout Unlimited is able to improve streams and waterways across the country.
MainStreet Advisors proudly offers its employees a matching gift program. The matching gift program is open to all employees and is intended to recognize and support the important work of nonprofit organizations.
