# Beacon Awarded Common Good Award by Rhode Island Monthly

![Beacon employees receiving common good award](https://blog.beaconmutual.com/hubfs/Common%20Good%20Award%201140x546%20(2)-1.webp)

We are thrilled to announce that Beacon Mutual has won first place in the large employer category in the 7th annual [Common Good Awards by Rhode Island Monthly](https://www.rimonthly.com/2024-common-good-awards/). This program recognizes businesses that inspire philanthropy in their employees around the state, and we are honored to be recognized for our commitment to giving back to the community.

"Beacon is committed to giving back to the communities where we live and work. Our charitable giving programs are designed to make a positive impact on our society and the world,"  said Shannon Broadbent, Vice President of Human Resources at Beacon Mutual. "We believe that by engaging our employees in these efforts, we can create a culture of giving and make a difference in the lives of those around us."

The award announcement comes after a thorough evaluation of Beacon’s initiatives and projects that focus on social and environmental responsibility. This includes their support for local charities, community development programs, and sustainable business practices.

Beacon supports local nonprofit organizations by encouraging employees to volunteer their time at charity events, clothing and donation drives, environmental clean-up days, relief and emergency programs, soup kitchens, and working with those with special needs.

![Week of Service Blog (400 × 400 px)](https://blog.beaconmutual.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Week%20of%20Service%20Blog%20(400%20%C3%97%20400%20px).png?width=300&height=300&name=Week%20of%20Service%20Blog%20(400%20%C3%97%20400%20px).png)Beacon’s employees have shown a commitment to the community, while many senior leadership team members also serve on various boards and advisory councils with local organizations. Employees volunteer through fundraising and engagement activities, with Beacon providing two paid volunteer days per year.

Beacon’s employees were involved in the [2023 Week of Service](https://blog.beaconmutual.com/beacons-week-service-2023) in June, for which two-thirds of the company’s employees partnered with seven organizations, including the Groden Network, Gotta Have Sole, the Rhode Island Tree Council, Ronald McDonald House, Amenity Aid, We Share Hope and the East Greenwich Animal Protection League.

Additionally, in August, a group of Beacon employees participated in the Back-to-School Volunteer Program with Charette High School in Providence, helping to collect supplies and prepare classrooms for incoming students. Beacon also organized drives for books, clothing, and food, collaborating with United Way of Rhode Island, the Groden Network, and Amos House. ![Group Pic - Charette High School](https://blog.beaconmutual.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Group%20Pic%20-%20Charette%20High%20School.png?width=350&height=257&name=Group%20Pic%20-%20Charette%20High%20School.png)

Beacon Mutual's Employee Week of Service showcased the power of collective action and demonstrated our [commitment to making a difference in the community.](https://www.beaconmutual.com/about/community-relations/) By aligning our volunteer projects with our core values, we were able to create a significant impact across various causes. We are proud of our employee engagement, dedication, and commitment to social responsibility. As a company, we will continue to support and contribute to initiatives that align with our mission and values, fostering a culture of compassion, and community engagement, and making a lasting positive impact on the lives of those in need. Together, we can create a brighter future for our local community and inspire others to join us in our commitment to service and social responsibility.
