Builders’ merchant MKM Building Supplies (MKM) has announced the launch of a new charitable foundation.
The MKM Foundation will provide a more unified way to support national and local causes, while still giving branches the freedom to fundraise, donate and volunteer in their local communities.
In its first year, the MKM Foundation will support three chosen charities, selected through a nomination and voting process involving MKM colleagues; Macmillan Cancer Support, Pancreatic Cancer UK and Yorkshire Air Ambulance.
The launch of the Foundation comes as MKM celebrates its 30th year, marking three decades of growth built on people, relationships and doing the right thing.
CEO of MKM, Kate Tinsley, comments: “As we mark 30 years of MKM, launching the Foundation feels like a fitting way to look forward – doing more of what we’ve always believed in, but on a bigger scale.”
The MKM Foundation is overseen by a dedicated Foundation Committee, and will work in partnership with the HEY Smile Foundation, which will provide independent administration and governance, ensuring donations are managed responsibly and reach the causes they are intended to support.
