We Believe Black Lives Matter, Still

There is no room for neutrality, disinterest, or indifference when it comes to inequality. HawkPartners stands alongside our Black colleagues, clients, partners, communities, and all fighting to end the system of structural racism that has plagued our nation for centuries.

We pride ourselves on our HawkPartners culture – one of inclusivity, teamwork, and respect for one another. In keeping with our culture, we are committed to taking meaningful action to aid in the fight to end racial injustice and inequality.

Actions taken to date:

  • We have partnered with Third Settlements, a group of creative strategists who specialize in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), to guide us in our efforts to move racial justice forward
  • We regularly hold firmwide conversations dedicated to exploring racial issues at HawkPartners and beyond
  • We have formed the Racial Justice Committee (RJC), a team of allies who continue to be committed to becoming well versed in the issues of racism and all things regarding racial justice and inequality
  • We continue to review and restructure workplace policies and practices through the lens of racial justice

We aim to create a space that not only encourages diversity of thought, but also celebrates the diversity of skin color and experiences.


We Are Committed to LGBTQ+ Inclusion

At HawkPartners, we benefit every day from the unique perspectives of our colleagues, friends & family who are members of the LGBTQ+ community. We are also privileged to work with amazing LGBTQ+ clients, as well as a range of client brands that actively support the LGBTQ+ community in a continuing effort to make the world a safer, healthier, and better place for everyone.

As part of our commitment to Inclusivity, we respect and appreciate each other’s differences as we believe that each of our lived experiences frames the lens through which we see the world. We are all better consultants, colleagues, and citizens because of our continued quest to understand each other.

At HawkPartners, we are committed to:

  • Offering benefits that are free of bias and serve the unique needs of all Partners, regardless of sexual orientation and gender identity
  • Minimizing bias in our work so that we are executing projects that are inclusive and are truly representative of the audiences our clients serve
  • Creating spaces for our LGBTQ+ Partners and those who have worked within the community to share their stories

New York

St. Luke’s Soup Kitchen

The Soup Kitchen at Saint Luke’s plays a vital role in serving many people across the city providing hot meals in their transformed theater space, including take-out meals. HawkPartners prepped and plated meals for guests.

Serving hot meals at St. Luke’s right in bustling midtown Manhattan wasn’t just about providing food—it was about offering compassion. I got the opportunity to share warm food and warm words with those who came by, and it was powerful to see how such a simple act could turn a moment of need into one of hope and connection.

Philadelphia

Philly House

HawkPartners partnered with The Philly House, the largest homeless shelter for men in the city, to support their meal service program. The team collaborated with the kitchen staff to serve a nutritious and delicious meal to guests and assisted with post-meal cleanup.

The Philly House does an amazing job providing support and resources for men experiencing homelessness in Philadelphia. It was a wonderful opportunity to learn about their services and spend time as an office helping to prepare and serve lunch to their guests.

Arlington Food Assistance Center - DC

Washington, DC

AFAC

Arlington Food Assistance Center (AFAC) provides dignified access to free groceries, allowing families to devote their limited financial resources to obligations such as housing, utilities, medication, and other basic needs. HawkPartners sorted and boxed up non-perishable food and dry goods.

Volunteering at the Arlington Food Assistance Center  was a powerful reminder of the urgent need to address food scarcity in our community. Ensuring that everyone has access to nutritious food is vital, and I’m proud to represent HawkPartners as a firm committed to meaningful community engagement.

Rosie’s Place

Boston

Rosie’s Place

HawkPartners partnered with Rosie’s Place, a sanctuary for poor and homeless women in Boston’s South End, to support their meal service program. The Boston Office assisted with meal preparation and service, plating meals and delivering them directly to guests at their tables.

Volunteering at Rosie’s Place, a sanctuary for homeless women, has been incredibly rewarding. The commitment of the staff to empower and uplift the women they serve is inspiring. This experience opened my eyes to their challenges and filled my heart with hope, showcasing the profound impact we can make together.
