Community Engagement

Aligned works alongside our customers, employees, partners and stakeholders to give back to the communities we serve. We are committed to serving underrepresented communities and non‐profit organizations across our sites through employee service projects, holiday giving and additional support campaigns throughout the year.

“The notion that a business coming into our area would be so accommodating and interested in our students and high school is amazing! It is apparent that you not only care about your business, but also the community that will be a home to your business. We recognize and are thankful for the incredible opportunities that you will bring to the area for these students.”

Empowering Frederick County Students

Aligned fosters career pathways in digital infrastructure by collaborating with local schools and organizations, providing internship programs and scholarship support to students. In Frederick County, MD, Aligned made an initial contribution of $25,000 to the Quantum Frederick Scholarship Fund, made possible through the Community Foundation of Frederick County.

The Fund supports local students with financial need in achieving their educational goals. The scholarships are particularly well-suited for students pursuing post-secondary degrees or career training in: Engineering (mechanical, structural, or electrical); Computer Science; and Information Technology. Special consideration is given to students from underserved and under-represented backgrounds; the LYNX program at Frederick High School; and career and technical education programs focusing on the above fields.

Giving Back is in Our Nature & Our DNA

We are harnessing the power of intelligent infrastructure — where our collective technology, methods, and people can be a catalyst for that change. For years, we’ve all made an effort to volunteer our time and donate funds and resources to the communities we live and work in – both individually and as an organization.

Through Aligned Cares, we are further building on these efforts and collaborating more closely with our internal teams and stakeholders, as well as with customers, partners and prospects to give, volunteer, and create special engagement elements that drive meaningful impact on the world.
