Corporate social responsibility is part of the fabric of growth[period]'s business and culture. The diversity of our employees, partners, and clients has provided us with key insights into the challenges and opportunities facing communities at every level, knowledge that has led us to conclude that partnering with non-profit groups and community organizations not only is good for the less fortunate and those that help them but also is good for business. As global interconnectivity continues to grow at a rapid pace, no one can afford to sit on the sidelines, and we try hard to practice what we preach. Our leadership is actively engaged in a number of charitable and community pursuits, ranging from working with wounded and disabled veterans to feeding the homeless, and sponsors frequent company-wide volunteer projects. growth[period] employees individually give generously of their talent, energy and passion to any cause that they deem worthwhile, and we embrace their passion and enthusiasm to make the world a better place, offering paid time off for charity work. Below are just a few of the many ways they make a positive impact.
May 2016: growth[period] is pleased to suppot Don Bosco Preparatory High School, a high school for boys founded in 1915 by the Salesians of Don Bosco.

Don Bosco is well known for its athletic teams, known as the Ironmen, and provides rigorous academics at the AP, honors, and college prep levels.
April 2016: growth[period] is proud to contribute to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) Man & Woman of the Year (MWOY) fundraising campaign. The MWOY effort is a community-focused event that raises funds for LLS blood cancer research in honor of local children who are blood cancer survirors, the Boy and Girl of the year.

March 2016: COO Kate Pickworth and her will be participating in the upcoming Histio Hike Shenandoah on April 29th-30th in order to raise awareness and funds for the Histiocytosis Association. This annual hike has raised nearly $500,000 to support the Association's mission of raising awareness about histiocytic disorders, providing educational and emotional support, and funding research leading to better treatments and a cure, and this year the organizers are hoping to exceed that mark.
March 2015: growth[period] is proud to support Kate's Cause, a fundraiser aimed at raise awareness and funds for pediatric cancer research. Only 4% of US Federal funding is solely dedicated to childhood cancer research, and there remains a large gap between the funding provided by pharmaceutical companies for the development of adult cancer treatments and that provided for childhood cancer therapies. Kate's Cause seeks to draw attention to this gap and work towards finding a cure for childhood cancers.

NMCRS was founded in 1904 by a group of Naval officers, wives of Naval officers, and civilians who felt that there was a lack of formal, organized assistance available for Navy widows and orphans in need of financial aid. The Society soon expanded beyond this original mission and began providing healthcare services and eventually educational assistance for Navy and Marine Corps servicemen and their families.
