ESI CARES Foundation Grant

The ESI CARES Foundation Grant, established in 2018, focuses on environmental responsibility through a metal recycling program. By collecting recyclable materials from construction projects across the U.S., the foundation aims to generate funds for community support. It prioritizes programs that address community needs, particularly those benefiting women and children, with an emphasis on sustainability and innovative solutions. The foundation seeks to create a lasting positive impact in the communities it serves.

Founded in 2018, the ESI CARES Foundation is just getting started. We have chosen to combine our passion for environmental responsibility with our desire to contribute by establishing a metal recycling program. Our teams collect recyclable materials from our projects and our offices and turn them into dollars for ESI CARES and our community.
ESI is managing construction projects throughout the United States generating large amounts of scrap metal that would normally end up in a landfill. We recycle everything we can and use the salvage value to provide meaningful contributions to organizations in the communities we touch that support families.
The ESI CARES Foundation helps us turn that vision into a reality.
When considering requests for financial support, we focus on the following:
Programs that serve the specific needs of people in the communitySpecial consideration will be given to organizations that support women and childrenEfficient and effective administration of funds and programsInnovative and creative approaches to community challengesRequests that include long-term plans for sustainability beyond ESI CARES funding
