The Hignell Companies launch Foundation
Morrison client The Hignell Companies has announced creation of The Hignell Companies Foundation, starting with two funds: The Employee Care Fund and the Community Impact Fund. These funds closely align with Hignell’s corporate mission: “Creating Caring Communities that Transform Lives.” They start with their employees and seek to build opportunities within their managed communities and the community at large.
According to Alexa Benson-Valavanis, CEO, North Valley Community Foundation, “The Hignell Companies are leading the way in corporate giving. They are known for their generosity in the community and this step forward gives a clear message to potential recipients what matters most to them and the process by which decisions can be made. The initiation of an Employee Care Fund sends a strong message to their team that the company wants to be there for their needs too.”
