Our four pillars of social impact are woven into our work, volunteering, and charitable giving. Each employee is given an annual stipend of volunteer time, and our Social Impact Committee makes sure there’s plenty of opportunities to get involved. AE Design is committed to giving back to our communities and to the causes that are

close to our hearts.

  • People

    We're always thinking about the end user in our work, and how we can positively impact the community. We donate food and clothing and volunteer with direct services organizations.

  • Education

    AE Design employees know how lucky they were to have great teachers and mentors. We support local schools and STEM education programs throughout the state to give back!

  • Environment

    Sustainability is one of our core values - we work and play in the great outdoors, and do our best to advocate for greener spaces in our cities, protect wildlife, and preserve natural resources.

  • Animals

    We love our furry friends! As specialists in designing state of the art animal care facilities, we especially love getting to meet these end users! We never pass up a chance to volunteer with puppies!
