AIT gives back to the communities it serves 

Giving back to the communities in which it serves is at the core of AIT’s culture. Employees are given time off from work to volunteer, and the company facilitates employee-giving initiatives for individuals to donate to their favorite charities directly through their paychecks. AIT is so committed to giving back that it has formed a Contributions Committee to support efforts in the areas of community outreach, fundraising, collection of donations, and raising awareness.

Here are only a few of the organizations that AIT and its employees have supported:  

AIT Collects Over 2,100 Books for Youth at Second Annual Book Drive  

In August 2011, employees successfully donated over 2,100 books that were delivered to local area foster children. Vice President and Chief Information Officer Ron Thieme brought in one of his many tractors to help load up all of the books. The book drive was part of the Books for Youth Program, which was developed in 2006 by the Indiana Department of Child Services in conjunction with the Indianapolis Colts to place 25 age-appropriate books in a backpack for local foster youth and young adults. For more information on the Books for Youth Program, visit www.in.gov/dcs/2342.htm. 

 

Servants at Work (SAW)  

In September 2011, the Contributions Committee teamed up with Servants at Work (SAW) for the second time to assist in building a needed access ramp for an Indianapolis resident. SAW is a local, all-volunteer, non-profit organization that provides individuals who are elderly or handicapped with access to the world outside their homes through the building of access ramps. With this new ramp, the resident now has greater access moving to and from the home.
