Giving: It’s in Our DNA

Our CEO Marty Bicknell has long held the belief that, to whom much is given, much is expected. It is that belief that makes giving back to our communities central to our firm’s culture. Since its inception, the Mariner Foundation has donated more than $6 million to charity.

To involve associates even more in our charitable endeavors, we created the Mariner Foundation, an associate-led charitable giving foundation with a core purpose of supporting underprivileged children and their families.

Our Foundation is funded through associate donations as well as a dollar-for-dollar company match. In addition to monetary gifts, employees give of their time and energy by volunteering at organizations such as Big Brothers Big Sisters, Giving the Basics, the Giving Grove, Ronald McDonald House Charities, Habitat for Humanity, Make a Wish and many more.

And because we feel so strongly about giving back, the firm provides associates with paid time off annually to volunteer in the communities where we live and work.
