The need is big. The heart is bigger.

AIS announces that the Boston Business Journal has named the company an honoree in its annual 2025 Corporate Citizenship Awards, a recognition of the region's top corporate charitable contributors.

The Business Journal publishes this annual list to showcase companies that promote and prioritize giving back to their communities in amounts exceeding $100,000 annually. Despite the economic challenges of the past couple of years, collectively, these 99 companies gave $416 million in cash contributions.

Impact of the donated furniture.

The new furniture has provided improvements in office aesthetics and functionality, creating a welcoming atmosphere for both the staff and the children, and supporting a sense of calmness and comfort. Additionally, the beautiful office space has provided a boost in morale, showing the staff that they are seen and supported in their hard work of serving the children.

“The generosity of AIS in donating new office furniture to our organization has brought a renewed sense of inspiration to everyone at Morningstar. We were working with outdated furniture that had far surpassed its functional lifespan. Such beautiful furniture was out of our reach and now is a reality across our campus. From the designers to the installers, everyone at AIS gave their all to help make our campus better. This donation was a labor of love for our staff, and ultimately for the foster kids we serve.” – Beth VanDerbeck, Chief Executive Officer

It Takes a Village

Design Services  |  Product  |  Delivery  |  Installation
In addition to providing an extensive assortment of product for this project that furnished six buildings on the Morningstar campus, AIS donated design services, shipping, and installation through a partnership with a local installer.

Our extensive connections, logistics know-how, and collaborative spirit allowed us to support this organization – getting them up to speed with furnishings. Delivery and installation was completed with minimal disruption to their operations.
