Granite was honored as one of Massachusetts' most generous companies at the annual Corporate Citizenship Awards celebration on September 5th. This year, a record 105 companies qualified as a top charitable contributor by giving at least $100,000 each in contributions to Massachusetts-based charities and social-service nonprofits in 2018.



Granite contributed more than $24 million to charitable organizations in Massachusetts in 2018. This includes $6.5 million to fund cancer research from the company's annual Saving by Shaving event, when local leaders, celebrities as well as Granite executives and teammates shave their heads to raise money and awareness.

At Granite, philanthropy is not just an annual event. Each week Granite teammates donate on average $5,000 for Granite Gives Back to give to local charities.


"Granite is honored to be recognized as the most charitable contributor in our home state of Massachusetts," said Rob Hale, President and CEO of Granite Telecommunications (News - Alert). "Philanthropy is a core value for our company and our teammates. We're happy to help people in our local communities any way we can. It's just what we do."
