Granite Telecommunications Celebrates 17 Years of Philanthropy in Massachusetts

Granite Telecommunications: A Leader in Corporate Giving

For an impressive 17 years, Granite Telecommunications has maintained its status as one of Massachusetts' top corporate philanthropists. The company's commitment to charitable giving has recently been acknowledged, with it being ranked No. 2 on the Boston Business Journal's (BBJ) Top Charitable Contributors list for 2024. This recognition was celebrated at the 20th Annual Corporate Citizenship Awards, which took place on September 10, 2025, highlighting the compassionate contributions of companies and their partnerships with nonprofits across the state.

Granite, a leading communications and technology solutions provider with an annual revenue of $1.8 billion, has been consistent in its philanthropic efforts. This year, the company donated over $46 million to local charities within Massachusetts and a staggering $51 million nationwide. Their giving supports a variety of causes including medical research, education, hunger alleviation, housing security, as well as programs for veterans.

Rob Hale, Granite's President and CEO, expressed that such achievements reflect the company's ethos: "This honor is a reflection of Granite's deeply held belief that business success and community impact go hand in hand. We’re proud to support the incredible nonprofit organizations doing meaningful work across Massachusetts and beyond, and we’re inspired by our teammates who continually give their time, energy and resources to help others."

Companies considered for the BBJ's ranking must contribute a minimum of $100,000 to charities based in Massachusetts during the previous year. For Granite, this long-standing dedication to giving began over a decade ago, during which it has held the top spot for four different years on this prestigious list.

A significant element of Granite's philanthropic strategy is to foster long-term partnerships with nonprofits. One noteworthy initiative is their collaboration with Boston Children's Hospital. Through an inspiring campaign dubbed "Saving by Shaving," Granite has successfully raised over $37 million for pediatric cancer research over the past seven years. Hale noted the firm’s approach is not just about giving; it aims at making impactful investments aiming for measurable outcomes: "We don't just give to give—we invest in outcomes. Our goal is to create lasting, measurable impact by supporting causes where we can be part of the solution and help communities thrive."

Granite takes pride in its vibrant culture of volunteerism as well. Employees engage in various service activities throughout the year, contributing hundreds of hours to help their communities. The company is passionate about social responsibility and firmly believes in the nexus of success and contribution to public welfare.
