The Community Focus Fund is an outreach program that provides employee volunteer hours, used computer equipment and financial support to local educational and non-profit organizations.
We sponsor and participate in various community events and activities that are viewed as meaningful to the community. The Community Focus Fund program backs volunteer activities where employees are not compensated.
