“Giving back to the community is not only integral to our identity as members of the Massachusetts community but also a cornerstone of our values. Accordingly, we are immensely honored that Granite has once again been acknowledged by the Boston Business Journal as a leading force for corporate philanthropy,” said Rob Hale, President and CEO of Granite. “As an organization, we are grateful for the continued growth and success we have achieved, and we remain committed to sharing these successes with the communities we call home and actively serve.”
Over the past four years, Granite has consistently held a top three position as one of Massachusetts’ leading charitable contributors, securing the No.1 ranking in both 2022 and 2019.
