Giving Back

Habitat for Humanity

We celebrate community in many different ways at Fanning Howey. As architects and engineers, we explore the potential for Creating Vibrant Communities during the planning and design process. But our community spirit goes much deeper than that. Through sponsorships, donations, scholarships, volunteer work, pro bono contributions, and many other activities, we try to make a meaningful difference both close to home and throughout the world.

In addition to our long-standing contributions through professional organizations such as the American Institute of Architects, we regularly take part in the following:

FernCare Free Clinic

Fanning Howey provided pro bono planning and design services for the development of the FernCare Free Clinic. FernCare is a free medical clinic for people ages 18 through 64 who are without insurance or are underinsured. http://www.ferncare.org/

Schools for Children of the World

We actively support the worthwhile efforts of this international organization, which builds and improves educational facilities in Central America and Africa. Our CEO, Dan Mader, is a member of the board of directors. Many of our employees have participated in working field trips to Honduras. http://www.schoolsforchildren.org/

School Building Week

We are a sponsor of School Building Week, a program developed by the Council of Educational Facility Planners International to highlight school design at the middle school level. The program involves many young students, introducing them to design professions while inspiring them to learn more about school buildings. www.cefpi.org

Habitat for Humanity

Each year, our Indianapolis office serves as a Build Sponsor for Habitat for Humanity. Every day, Habitat provides 145 new homes for disadvantaged families, and we are proud to be part of this effort. http://www.habitat.org/

O.U.R. Home Family Resource Center

Every December the northwestern Ohio office holds a food drive for O.U.R. Home Family Resource Center, a local food pantry. This year, the office donated 2 vehicles worth of food.

Fanning Howey Employee Family Scholarships

Each year, Fanning Howey awards a renewable four-year academic scholarship to a high school senior who is a child of a Fanning Howey employee. The applications are independently judged by Fanning Howey clients.
