Baird Foundation

Baird Foundation supports nonprofit organizations aligned with our focus on health and human services, education, the arts and diversity. We believe in sharing our strong commitment to equality and opportunity for all, and we seek to support organizations where our associates are actively engaged in order to maximize our impact.

To support our associates’ personal giving, Baird Foundation provides matching gifts to deserving charities as well as direct donations to organizations where our associates are actively involved. In 2022, Baird Foundation contributed more than $5.4 million to qualified nonprofits, including more than $3 million to match our associates’ charitable donations. In addition, our annual United Way campaign raised over $4.1 million, with contributions from 66 participating offices.
