Corporate Responsibility

Changing lives through our pledges

At LID Landscapes, we aspire to be a model of corporate responsibility by supporting non-profit organizations throughout Boulder County. Our support has raised more than $260,000 for charitable and community organizations.

As an example of our commitment, when an individual signs a new contract, or sends a referral to us, we pledge $100 to a charity of their choice. These donations are made annually on Colorado Gives Day in order to maximize the impact for the organizations we support.

Our corporate citizenship has enabled us to support the charitable and community organizations listed below.

A Few of the Organizations we Support

Attention Homes
Boulder Shelter for the Homeless
Children’s Hospital of Colorado
Community Food Share
Emergency Family Assistance Association
Habitat for Humanity
Hospice Care for Boulder & Broomfield Counties
Humane Society of Boulder Valley
Impact on Education
Meals on Wheels
And many more

Together, we can make a positive difference in the lives of Boulder families by addressing issues in our community such as hunger, education, homelessness, domestic violence, and access to healthcare.

Potting Parties

A unique way of using our expertise

Over the span of 15 years, LID Landscapes and James Martin Associates have donated over 120 potting parties to local charities and organizations.

These potting parties are used to raise funds at the nonprofits’ silent auctions. Valued at $1000 each, they include a catered lunch for the winner and 9 friends, a guided tutorial on potting annual flowers, a custom arranged flower pot assembled by participants, and open access to landscaping professionals who can offer advice, tips, and tricks that you can use in your own garden.

Scholarships

Funding and educating the next generation

Scholarships are the lifeblood of the educational system. Many students graduate with tremendous debt that may take years and years to pay off. Scholarships help minimize this huge burden. LID Landscapes and James Martin Associates are committed to providing scholarships annually to those interested in pursuing careers in our industry.

Over the years, we have found that many students who are exposed to our line of work end up staying in the industry for the rest of their lives. Through this process, we help sustain the lifeblood of our workforce while also supporting students attending employee alma maters, local high schools, and competing at national collegiate competitions.

Our team remains involved with local schools and programs focusing on areas within our industry, regularly volunteering our time at high schools and universities to share our expertise and knowledge with the next generation.

Better Communities Through Charity and Landscapes

We have realized that we are happier when we are intimately involved in our community.

We not only support the greater Boulder area through financial giving each year, but we also support the community by cleaning up the outdoors, planting trees, hosting potting parties, awarding scholarships, and more. Wherever we can, we try to use our horticultural expertise to improve landscapes and provide education.

We are proud of our community and are happy that we have the chance to make a difference through our involvement on multiple levels.
