In our communities

It is our responsibility to practice good corporate citizenship in our workplace and the communities where we serve. Here are some examples of how we're making an impact.

Recognizing Juneteenth across the country

Our employees in Mississippi, Florida, Arizona, Virginia, and several other locations throughout the country honored the significance of this holiday by participating in local Juneteenth events to foster a deeper connection in the communities where we live and work. To further the Juneteenth dialogue, more than 300 employees also joined in our 4th annual company-wide Community Conversation, facilitated by our Black Alliance Employee Resource Group.

El Paso, Texas

Newest CCO site establishes a culture of giving in its first year

“Being a new CCO site, we want to promote the Maximus brand as much as we can,” Senior Site Manager Emmanuel Avila said. “We want to show people who are potentially looking to start a career with us that this is a company that gives back.”

In its first year, the site held:

An Easter basket giveaway to donate 100 baskets to underserved children in the community.
A school sports equipment drive to support the local school district.
Upcoming backpack drive in preparation for the new school year.

Lawrence, Kansas

Employees support community needs through a variety of nonprofits

The CCO site in Lawrence, Kansas, has an active culture of philanthropy.

Senior Site Manager Melete Ghile explained how the site gives employees a vehicle to share their enthusiasm for helping the community.

Employees recently supported:
- Boxed food drive for local charity Just Food.
- Pet supply donation to the Lawrence Humane Society and Lawrence Community Shelter.
- Supply drive to Family Promise for homeless prevention.
- Greeting card drive for children in local hospitals.

Tampa, Florida

Florida employees show Veteran appreciation through partnerships

Maximus’ Tampa Bay, Florida, team actively supports the military community. The team recently participated in Operation Partnership with the Tampa Bay Chamber of Commerce. The event provided useful information to local businesses, explaining ways they can recruit and retain military members and their family members.

Local Maximus leaders also attended and sponsored the Military Bay Military Appreciation event on May 16. Businesses in attendance learned about the various military outreach efforts taking place in Tampa Bay.

Maximus Foundation

Another way that Maximus gives back to the communities in which we live and operate is through the Maximus Foundation. The Foundation supports nonprofit organizations and charities that help disadvantaged populations and underserved communities – with a focus on youth and child development, healthcare, and community development.

"In this pivotal year, the philanthropic and humanitarian landscape has witnessed a profound transformation marked by resilience, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to positive change.”
