Community Involvement
Our commitment to non profit organizations
Strategic Investment
Our community engagement involves quarterly painting and wallcovering projects for local non-profit organizations. We focus on initiatives that can be completed in approximately one day, helping these organizations enhance their spaces to better serve their missions.
Our volunteer work has encompassed interior and exterior painting, as well as installing dry erase boards. By committing to one project every three months, we maintain a consistent presence in supporting our local non-profit community.
Projects Completed to Celebrate our Centennial Anniversary

We support the following organizations:
In honor of ALL of our Troops and Veterans.
The Red Shirt Friday tradition encourages Americans to wear red each Friday as a visible symbol of gratitude for our service members and veterans.
This non-partisan movement transcends political views to honor the dedication of military personnel who have defended our nation’s freedoms since its founding.
By participating in Red Shirt Friday, citizens demonstrate their appreciation for the sacrifices made by both active-duty troops and veterans who have served our country.
At Ralph E Jones Inc, our entire team - from field crews to office staff - unites every Friday by wearing red shirts to Remember Everyone Deployed (RED). This company-wide tradition demonstrates our collective support for service members currently stationed around the world.
B Corp Commitment
Meeting high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability.
Certified B Corporations are leaders in the global movement for an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economy. Unlike other certifications for businesses, B Lab is unique in our ability to measure a company’s entire social and environmental impact.
B Corp Certification is a designation that a business is meeting high standards of verified performance, accountability, and transparency on factors from employee benefits and charitable giving to supply chain practices and input materials. In order to achieve certification, a company must:
- Demonstrate high social and environmental performance by achieving a B Impact Assessment score of 80 or above and passing our risk review. Multinational corporations must also meet baseline requirement standards.
- Make a legal commitment by changing their corporate governance structure to be accountable to all stakeholders, not just shareholders, and achieve benefit corporation status if available in their jurisdiction.
- Exhibit transparency by allowing information about their performance measured against B Lab’s standards to be publicly available on their B Corp profile on B Lab’s website.
Ralph E Jones, Inc achieved B Corp Certification on 2019

- Giving back to our community through donations and volunteering makes us all grow stronger
