For decades, Booz Allen’s award-winning San Diego office has helped clients like the U.S. Navy meet their toughest challenges. But this is just one way the firm has made itself a valuable part of the community.
Another example comes from the vibrant region of Southeast San Diego, which is strengthening its foundation for STEM education.
“As Southeast San Diego reinvents itself, we’re showing up with two things growing nonprofits desperately need: financial resources through our place-based grants and expertise in areas like strategy, operations, data, and technology,” says Booz Allen Foundation Executive Director Christine Hoisington.
Such capacity-building connections recently came to life during a skills-based volunteering marathon with the Taproot Foundation, an organization that connects nonprofits around the world to volunteers and support.
“Nonprofits started by giving Booz Allen volunteers a detailed description of what they needed to grow to the next level,” says Christine. “After two half-day marathons of intense and focused hands-on collaboration, our teams delivered detailed plans on how to make it happen for two very deserving organizations: MANA and the Elementary Institute of Science.”
