This unwavering commitment embodies my grandfather’s mission to always give back to the communities that help to support our success,” said Mindy Holman, Chair of the Board, Holman. “There is no one better than my brother Steve to spearhead this incredibly important program and ensure Holman continues to drive what’s right throughout the communities we call home.”

In addition to the company’s standard community grants, Holman also distributes a number of impact grants each year, consisting of a $300,000 commitment to select non-profit organizations, which are dispersed over a period three years.

With Steve Holman transitioning to his new role, Alicia McGowan, Holman’s Manager of Community Affairs, will continue to lead the company’s community sponsorship and donation programs as well as Holman’s employee volunteerism activities, a role which she has held since 2022.
