At JE Dunn, Serving Others is a principle we live by, passed down over the past 100 years from leaders like Bill Dunn Sr., who helped shape our company culture to what it is today. From our jobsites to our offices, the work we do is rooted in a deep commitment to our people and our communities.
This year’s Cornerstone Campaign reflects that commitment in action. Following the success of last year’s Building a Legacy campaign, the Cornerstone Campaign invites employees to shape where and how we give. By nominating nonprofit organizations and selecting a shared focus cause, our people are able to drive meaningful impact in the places they call home.
Serving others strengthens more than just our communities — it builds connections, pride, and purpose across our company. When we invest in causes that matter to our people, we reinforce what makes JE Dunn different: a culture that values people first.
Serving others is one of the most powerful ways we can lead. Service strengthens our communities, deepens our empathy, and leaves a legacy that extends far beyond ourselves. I encourage everyone to find a meaningful way to give back. The world needs your kindness.
Giving back to our communities is integral to who we are at JE Dunn. By working toward a better community and better lives for everyone around them, our employees are more fulfilled and happier because their communities are stronger.
It is more than an action. It’s how we make small, but meaningful changes. It’s a belief that our lives extend beyond ourselves and are meant to be of service and contribution to the larger whole. You cannot underestimate it. And the energy extended into the world lasts so much longer than any self-fulfillment ever could.
As a former foster youth, I know firsthand how powerful it is when someone shows up for you. Serving others is important because it creates hope, connection, and opportunity, especially for those who feel forgotten. That’s why giving back is such an important part of who I am, it’s a chance to be the person I once needed.
In an industry dedicated to building spaces that bring people together, it’s important to remember that every structure relies on a solid foundation. At JE Dunn, our success is built on one strengthened by our people — their talent, dedication, and collaboration are the heart behind every project and every achievement.
