MG2 Foundation is an outgrowth of the global architecture and design firm MG2, which has been deeply committed to giving back to the communities in which we design and live for over 50 years. Each philanthropic undertaking represents social issues, challenges, and personal passions held by the MG2 Foundation community.
“What we build as a society only matters if it improves lives. That’s true in architecture, and it’s just as true in how we show up for our communities.”
– Jerry Lee, Executive Director
Our Impact
Architecture is more than just designing buildings – it’s about creating lasting relationships with the communities we serve. Our work is shaped by the needs, aspirations, and challenges of those who live and work in the spaces we design.
MG2 Foundation is dedicated to fostering meaningful community connections and diversifying the architectural profession. We do this by funding architectural education, fostering philanthropic opportunities in our communities, and partnering with charitable organizations who support inclusivity, reinforce social justice, and elevate equity.
From hands-on volunteering to strategic philanthropy, our goal is to make tangible differences in our communities. By engaging with communities not just as architects but as advocates, collaborators, and neighbors, we leave a lasting impact on our world.
Community Partners
We’re all in this together—and that’s as true today as it will be tomorrow. Our community partners inspire us and keep our mission alive. MG2 Foundation believes that individual achievement means nothing without collective benefit—and that’s as true today as it has ever been.
