Our Philanthropy
We may live and breathe advertising, but giving back is the heart of our organization. Our legacy of philanthropy can be traced back to our founder, Joseph R. Shaker, whose generous spirit we work hard to advance each day.
SHAKER CARES
Shaker Cares comprises ongoing efforts, including monthly collections for causes, periodic charity drives and events, and more.
ST. JUDE
We have a strong connection and involvement with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, as Joseph R. Shaker was a pioneering board member of ALSAC, the organization that founded St. Jude over 50 years ago. We’re proud to follow in his footsteps.
SHAKER FOUNDATION
The Shaker Foundation provides financial assistance to many nonprofit organizations.
