In 2006, Fann began a program that allowed its employees to participate with the company in their support of local charities and non-profit organizations. Employees are able to make a weekly donation from their paychecks and Fann Contracting matches all donations, dollar-for-dollar.

Fann’s group of employees participating are referred to as FEMAD – Fann Employees Making a Difference. Kerri Vaughn, Fann’s Charitable Contributions Administrator has done an incredible job of organizing, promoting, distributing the funds collected and celebrating the successes of the group. As of December 2020, FEMAD had contributed more than $670,000 to six local charity partners. 

Fann employees are generous all year long. The field employees chip in when a parking lot needs paving or when a local organization needs construction work, the office employees pool their monies at the end of each year to fund various holiday giving programs, and they all open up their wallets and give generously when a fellow employee is in a difficult situation. Fann Employees truly make a Difference!

The Arizona Community Foundation’s Pakis Center for Business Philanthropy: In Spring of 2017, FEMAD was awarded a $40,000 BOOST! Prize from the Pakis Center for Business Philanthropy. In addition to increasing Fann Contracting’s giving portfolio, the BOOST! Prize dollars will support the community outreach program Fann intends to develop.

By sharing what the company has learned along the way, Mike Fann hopes to inspire other local mid-sized businesses to begin or expand their own charitable leadership in the community.
