Community Involvement
Community Involvement
GEO takes an active corporate citizenship role within each community we call home. Each year, we support a variety of community development projects, local non-profits, and national charity organizations. Through these partnerships, GEO provides numerous economic and community enrichment possibilities that have become invaluable within the communities we serve.
On average, GEO invests over $10 million dollars annually; in each local community; towards wages local contractors, supplies, taxes, and charitable contributions. This influx of capital has the ability to stimulate the economic makeup of a community through consumer spending, new business enterprises, and capital improvements.
GEO’s philanthropic activities are administered through a community outreach committee within each facility. By managing charitable programs locally, rather than at a corporate level, GEO has the ability to support each local community and provide modest organizations with the recognition they deserve; through grants, fundraising, and volunteer efforts.
