WHO WE ARE
Giving Back
GIVING BACK
We believe in giving back to the community and we proudly support several organizations dedicated to helping others. At the end of the day, there’s no better feeling than knowing that you played a part in helping someone. From Little League teams to medical research, every little bit counts.
We are proud to support the following organizations:
United Way
Through voluntary payroll deduction, Modern employees financially support the United Way. The United Way improves lives by mobilizing the caring power of communities around the world to advance the common good.
Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation
JDRF is the leading global organization funding type 1 diabetes (T1D) research. JDRF’s goal is to progressively remove the impact of T1D from people’s lives until we achieve a world without T1D. JDRF collaborates with a wide spectrum of partners and is the only organization with the scientific resources, regulatory influence, and a working plan to better treat, prevent, and eventually cure T1D. Modern has been very active in supporting JDRF’s Walk for a Cure and Gala.
Zach Johnson Foundation

Their programs help prepare young people for the real world by showing them how to generate wealth and effectively manage it, how to create jobs which make their communities more robust, and how to apply entrepreneurial thinking to the workplace. Students put these lessons into action and learn the value of contributing to their communities.
