DENVER
COMMUNITY IMPACT

Passionate about the communities we work in

Mortenson Chairman Emeritus Mort Mortenson sums it up: “There is no greater gift we can give others than our time and treasure. We do so enthusiastically, with a smile on our face and delight in our eyes.”

You can’t mandate such an eagerness to help others. It comes from the heart and is as ingrained in the company’s culture as is a desire to deliver an exceptional experience to our partners and customers. Whether it involves helping build a home, mentoring a student or business, providing food for the hungry and holiday gifts for those in need, or merely offering a helping hand or some type of expertise, Mortenson team members approach each effort, responsibly and with a strong belief that they are simply doing the right thing.

Annual Charity Golf Tournament

This year’s beneficiary was Minds Matter, Mortenson Denver’s 2021 Community Impact Partner of the Year. Minds Matter works to support the educational aspirations of high-achieving high school students from low-income households throughout Colorado. The program provides them with the guidance they need to gain admittance to the college of their choice and succeed there. Together with sponsor contributions, Mortenson’s fundraising efforts resulted in an $85,000 donation to Minds Matter at the tournament.

“We were so excited to be back together again for our annual charity golf tournament! I want to thank all of our golfers, sponsors, organizers and volunteers for making this event such a great success,” said Gene Hodge, vice president and general manager of Mortenson Denver. “Your contributions will help Minds Matter Colorado provide kids in our communities with the support and resources they need to reach their full potential.”
