There’s not much more that can be said about 2020 than hasn’t already been said. It was a challenging year. We are grateful for so many things. Our families. Employees. Customers. Communities.
Each year, we set aside a portion of our revenue to donate back into our communities. As a B Corporation and Social Purpose Corporation, this is in our DNA. Typically, we allow the employee-owners to make those decisions at the end of the year. But with everything that happened in 2020, we changed things up. We implemented a new giving program where all employees can now take advantage of A&R solar’s community giving program through matching donations and volunteer hours. And as our custom, we asked our customers to nominate nonprofits in the communities where they live.
Here are some of the organizations that we donated to in 2020. We thank you all for your support of our business. Here’s to better days ahead.
