Making a difference outside of CMB is an important part of our culture. We contribute a percentage of our fiscal year operating income to the ITA Group Foundation with four key areas of focus: 1. Arts, Culture & Community Engagement 2. Health & Wellness 3. Human Services 4. Racial Equity You may not know that racial equity was added as a pillar to our Foundation for Charitable Giving in 2020 in support of the fair and just treatment of all people. Since accountability and sustainability are paramount towards this mission, we committed to a goal of giving at least 15% of our annual Foundation for Charitable Giving to organizations whose missions are explicitly anti-racist and focused on issues that disproportionately impact Black Americans—a percentage that reflects the U.S. population. This year, contributions towards racial equity made up 26% of our 2023 Foundation Giving. This contribution is one small part of our work towards becoming a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive organization.
