Community impact is more than a check

Since its inception in 1970, Johnson Financial Group has contributed to United Way and continues to match every employee contribution on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

We believe social and community impact means more than just writing a check. This is why we focus on bringing forth our mission to create goodwill, promoting ways to strengthen and improve economic health and enrich lives for generations to come. We do this by combining financial support with volunteerism, creativity and expertise leading to greater accomplishments, collaboration and a better future for all.
