Community Commitment

Building. Transforming. Inspiring.

BTI employees share in our commitment to give, inspire, and serve our local communities.

BTI has a special interest in our local community. With nearly 15% of the population of the National Capital Region living below the poverty line, we have developed and fostered long-standing relationships with charities providing goods and services to the local community. Annual coat and clothing drives, backpack and school supply drives, and preparing and distributing holiday meals to the homeless are just a sampling of our corporate efforts to support the disadvantaged population where we live and work.

A Community Impact Team has been chartered to determine how to best give back — whether through monetary donations, time, or a combination of both — to the communities in which we do business. We regularly solicit feedback from our employees in each location to capture their voices and best represent the philanthropic efforts of our company.

BTI also recognizes the efforts of individual employees supporting charities outside of their employment with the company. We provide charitable donations to sponsor our employees' awareness activities regardless of location, having supported Big Brothers Big Sisters, the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, Autism Speaks Walks, Out of the Darkness Overnight Suicide Prevention Walks, and many other widely recognized organizations at the request of our employees.
