The goal of MSA’s Corporate Giving & Community Outreach program is to make an impact on the Tri-Cities and surrounding region through outreach and assistance that builds and improves our community. We volunteer time, donate funds and contribute in-kind services that support causes which meet our giving strategy.

Our strategy mirrors our business model: “preparing (Hanford) for the future” is our priority. As such, we focus our corporate giving on causes that prepare our community and our region for a positive future.

Specifically, we focus our giving in the areas below:

• Education and Leadership for Youth
  • This includes support for scholarships, and to organizations such as Junior Achievement, Children’s Reading Foundation of the Mid-Columbia, Hanford REACH Interpretive Center, STEM Foundation and local institutions of higher education.

• Economic Development and Environmental Causes
  • This includes support for TRIDEC, Tri-City Regional Chamber of Commerce, Visit Tri-Cities and other economic development and environmental causes.

• City/Local Improvement and Support
  • This includes support to local charities such as Tri-Cities Cancer Center Foundation, March of Dimes, Leadership Tri-Cities, ARC of Tri-Cities, Tri-Cities Water Follies and local food banks.

Our contributions give us an opportunity to make an impact in our community. The health and well-being of the Tri-Cities and surrounding regions is vital to our employees and their families, and to our business.
