Building Up Our Communities

For our teams, philanthropy is more than a side effort or seasonal initiative; it’s an extension of who we are as employee-owners. 

Guided by our Purpose of enriching the people, places, and relationships we build, we take seriously the role we play in “Building Up” our neighbors and our communities. Our Building Up philanthropic program was created out of a need to coordinate the tremendous amount of good happening across our offices. 

For more than 30 years, Choate employee-owners have answered the call to serve, investing time, talent, and resources to strengthen communities across our footprint. Our focus is simple: partner with organizations already doing meaningful work, helping them extend their reach and impact.

That support takes many forms. Sometimes it’s rolling up our sleeves for trail or beach cleanups. Other times, it’s a hands-on service project that make neighborhoods stronger today. And sometimes it’s taking support into our own hands with signature events.

In every case, the goal is the same: empower our nonprofit partners to keep doing the important work they do, consistently, sustainably, and with confidence.
