TMA Resources Gives Back
TMA Resources has an inherent responsibility to give back; as individual employees we have a huge personal desire to make a difference in our community. Social responsibility is part of the culture at TMA Resources.
We signed up as a supporter of ASAE and The Center’s Global Principles for Socially Responsible Associations & Nonprofits. By adopting the Global Principles, TMA Resources is committing to embrace, advocate, support, and enact the core values that promote socially responsible action. TMA Resources donates everything from food to supplies to funds to time in order to help those in need. Recent worthy causes we’ve supported include:
American Red Cross
TMA Resources sponsored a blood-drive through the American Red Cross. In order to encourage participation and to help spread the word about the importance of giving blood, TMA Resources invited not just employees, but the entire building, and twin building next door, to participate.
Autism Speaks
TMA Resources’ employees, customers, partners, and friends participated in the inaugural Wilson Bridge Half Marathon to raise money for Autism Speaks. Members of “Team TMA Resources” volunteered by running, cheering, and handing out water at the TMA Resources’ water station. TMA Resources collected more than $25,000.00 to support Autism Speaks. This year’s race will take place October 2, 2011. Donate to Autism Speaks on behalf of Team TMA Resources.
Capital Area Food Bank
Each year TMA Resources participates in Delcor’s annual community food drive. During the past three years alone, staff members made both product and financial donations leading to a contribution of close to 20,000 pounds of food for the Capital Area Food Bank.
Doctors Without Borders
TMA Resources’ employees donated more than $7,000.00 to Doctors Without Borders to support relief efforts for the devastation caused by the earthquake in Haiti. Doctors Without Borders is a medical humanitarian organization that assists people whose survival is threatened by violence, neglect, or catastrophe.
Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation
Along with their families, many TMA Resources staff participated in the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s (JDRF) VA walk to Cure Diabetes. Employees collected $4,576 to support research to find a cure for juvenile (type 1) diabetes. TMA Resources matched that
organization dollar for dollar bringing the total amount raised up to $9,152.
So Others Might Eat
To celebrate Thanksgiving TMA Resources makes monetary contribution to So Others Might Eat (SOME) in honor of our valued customers. The thousands of dollars donated by TMA Resources helps feed the hungry and care for the homeless and poor in our Nation’s Capitol.
TMA Resources Annual Users Group (TAUG) Contributions
During our TAUG meeting, we make a conscious effort to leave a positive footprint in our host city. Recently we donated two large terra-cotta planters to help green the city of Louisville. In San Juan we made a donation to help with the maintenance and preservation of the El Yunque National Forest, the only tropical rain forest in the United States National Forest System. In Austin we donated to Sammy’s House, a nonprofit organization that provides services to children who are medically fragile and/or developmentally delayed. After TAUG is over we always donate leftover conference supplies to children to use for art projects.
