A Movement of Generosity,
A Legacy of Impact
Purpose.
Through our charitable foundation, the Danos family of companies provides grants and donations to nonprofit organizations serving the communities where our teammates live and work. Our philanthropic and volunteer efforts are guided by our purpose:
Honor God. Solve big challenges for our customers and communities.
"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me. 'The King will reply, "Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." - (Matthew 25:35-36, 40)
