A WORD FROM OUR FOUNDER

I am proud of the commitment our team has made to transforming the lives of youth in the communities where we work. Since our inception, we have provided critical resources and funding to non-profits who are sparking real change within our community and scholarships to the next generation of builders to help them pursue their dreams and goals. We know that to continue our legacy of philanthropy, we must partner and collaborate with changemakers that are challenging the status quo by creating innovative career and educational pathways to ensure our youth realize their full potential.

As we embark on the next phase of our growth, we have partnered with forward thinking non-profits, expanded our scholarship program, and will continue to grow the Palmisano Foundation’s impact by providing innovative solutions as a philanthropy leader within the communities we serve.

Together, we build future leaders and make the world a better place.
— Wes Palmisano, Founder

The Palmisano Foundation believes that collaboration is the key to creating meaningful opportunities for young people to realize their full potential. By partnering with RNGD employees, and our trade and non-profit partners, we can maximize our collective impact, providing educational resources and career pathways for young people to succeed and thrive. Together, we are building stronger communities and creating a brighter future for our youth. As we look ahead, our commitment remains steadfast – to break down barriers, create opportunities, and provide the resources needed to support the next generation of builders.

RNGD employees are integral to our mission and I’m deeply grateful for their dedication and partnership to advance the Foundation’s mission. Through mentorship, volunteer initiatives, and fundraising efforts, they continue to empower the next generation by helping turn aspirations into achievements.
