Community Involvement


Giving back is in our DNA. Our associates collectively volunteer tens of thousands of hours each year, including our summer interns at Teens Grow Greens in Milwaukee.

A group of about 20 people, mostly wearing blue "Service day. every day." t-shirts, stand together in front of a "Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin" banner. The banner is decorated with gold balloon letters that read "Thank You."

Giving Back to Our Communities

For more than 55 years, we have dedicated ourselves to the communities where we live and work. Through local business investments, philanthropic contributions and the volunteer service of our employees, we actively work to improve people’s lives and build thriving communities.

“Do what’s best for family, company and community. We are here to make a difference in this world.”

Helen Johnson-Leipold Chairman of Johnson Financial Group

Making every community better

Embedded in our culture is a genuine mission to make every community better because we’re there. As a privately owned, Wisconsin-based company, this philosophy is anchored in the philanthropic spirit of the Johnson family.

Johnson Financial Group provides ongoing opportunities for associates to give back. Each associate is allotted paid time to volunteer in their local community. This inclusive approach provides flexibility so all associates can help meet the needs of community partners who benefit from our help throughout the year.

Community impact is more than a check

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.
