We’re passionate about giving back to our community. MGC Cares encourages just that. An internal program made up of associates who have volunteered to plan and implement the company’s participation in community activities, charitable fundraising and corporate events.

It’s important to work hard, but having fun is part of it. MGC Cares plans team-building events, including barbecues on our rooftop patio, outings to professional sports events, Friday afternoon bowling competitions, a kickball tournament, and much more. And that’s on top of our annual holiday party and summer picnic.

Diversity + Equity + Inclusion

McCownGordon is committed to respect and inclusion for all. To deliver the best client experience, we strive to build a team of professionals with diverse perspectives and varying life experiences that reflect our communities.

Our Diversity + Inclusion committee focuses on three main pillars: understand, include, and inspire. We believe an inclusive and diverse workforce drives creativity and innovation, inspires leadership, and creates a culturally varied workplace.

By actively working to improve the representation of women and minorities, we’ve seen increased engagement and a focus on taking ownership AND giving back. We regularly work within our community to create an awareness of the value of inclusion and diversity.
