Parsons Goodworks

Community engagement is part of the Parsons + Co ethos. It’s just what we do. Why? Because we are part of a community and some in that community need help. Whether it is through financial donations or volunteering our time, PARSONS GOODWORKS has been part of our team culture from the beginning.

Here are some of the organizations we support:

180 Foundation

Joanie served on the board of directors for more than 20 years, raising important funds for organizations dedicated to kids and families throughout Washington state.

Boys & Girls Club Bellevue

Through the pandemic, the BGCB stayed open to provide a safe place for kids of essential workers, of paramount importance during this time. PARSONS + CO helped raise more than $30,000 for the organization also contributing to this important cause. We also secured gallons of hand-sanitizer for staff and kids alike.

Impact 100 Seattle

Impact 100 works to bring unrestricted grants to small, community-based nonprofits.

International Women’s Forum

A global organization that supports women leaders, IWF’s mission is to advance women’s leadership and create a future where gender is not a barrier to leadership.

KNHC Radio

KNHC — or C-89.5 as it is called – is housed at Nathan Hale High School in Seattle. Started 50 years ago, it is the world’s oldest dance music station. Joanie went to NH and acted as the radio station’s Community Relations Director and then Station Manager. She owes her early start in radio to her success in business.

Landesa

Landesa is a non-profit based in Seattle, offering tools to help people lift themselves out of poverty. They partner with progressive governments and civil society to develop pro-poor and gender-sensitive laws, policies, and programs that strengthen land rights for people experiencing extreme poverty.
