RUSSELLVILLE, AR — Engineered Rigging announces the launch of its new nonprofit organization, Engineered Giving. This philanthropic arm is dedicated to elevating the company’s commitment to charitable endeavors.
“Giving back has always been an important part of our culture at Engineered Rigging,” said Christopher Cox, PE, President of Engineered Rigging. “With Engineered Giving, we’re taking a more structured approach to our community outreach as a way to make a meaningful and lasting difference in the lives of others.”
In addition to providing volunteer support to local initiatives, Engineered Giving will contribute financially to initiatives related to education, food insecurity, and more. The organization will initially focus its efforts in Arkansas and Indiana, where the company has offices.
To celebrate the launch of Engineered Giving, the organization launched a fundraising campaign for the Arkansas River Valley Food 4 Kids (RVF4K) summer program. The campaign was held during Engineered Rigging’s Heavy Lifting Equipment Showcase in Russellville, Arkansas. In addition to Engineered Giving’s $7,500 grant to sponsor summer meals for 100 local school children who face hunger, participants at the showcase donated money for a combined impact of $14,155. Engineered Rigging team members presented the check to RVF4K’s Executive Director and Board Members.
"Thanks to Engineered Giving's wonderful support, 188 kids in the Arkansas River Valley will have full bellies and happy hearts this summer," RVF4K Executive Director Leslie Walton said. "This generous gift proves that the community profits when you support nonprofits, creating waves of hope that ensure no child must worry about where their next meal is coming from.”
