We promote an environment where people and projects succeed.

Charitable Giving

We encourage personal involvement in charitable organizations that make a positive contribution to our communities.

Merjent offers employees volunteer time to be used during the workday, provides Corporate Matching Funds to help our team members support charities of their choosing, and encourages company-wide fund-raisers benefiting outstanding charities.  

A history of giving...

Merjent has a generous team and an equally generous charitable giving program. Through that program we match individual donations to a wide range of community programs, food shelves, animal shelters, and more. In the last years alone, Merjent has matched $16,000 in team member’s donations. 

Our passion for giving has led us to donate to a variety of charitable organizations. A summary of some of those charitable endeavors is provided below.

Merjent's Charitable Work

Merjent helped create, and fully supports, the Merjent Foundation, an independent 501(c)3 charity dedicated to expanding our contributions to the community. Through the Foundation, Merjent sponsors scholarships for students pursuing degrees in our fields of study. The Foundation also supports outstanding charitable work through one-time grants.

Merjent hosts an annual Fall Food & Fund Drive to benefit Second Harvest Heartland and other food shelves around the country. Our team maximizes the fun and the fundraising with friendly competition, games, and potlucks, all for a good cause. Last year Merjent team members raised more than $21,000 to help those in need. 

Merjent’s charitable giving program actively encourages community participation and volunteerism. Every year Merjent employees volunteer over 100 hours in their local communities. Merjent sponsors group volunteer events with organizations like Open Arms of Minnesota, Great River Greening, and the Animal Humane Society, so that our whole team can pay it forward.

Merjent is recognized by the Minnesota Keystone Program for donating 2 percent, or more, of our pre-tax earnings to charitable organizations. The Minnesota Keystone Program promotes corporate philanthropy and encourages charitable giving in the state. Learn more at the Minnesota Keystone Program site.
