AKRON, OHIO / ACCESS Newswire / February 19, 2026 / State and Federal Communications, Inc. has announced its 2025 annual Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) review, reflecting another year of meaningful community investment, regional engagement, and national leadership. The company remains guided by the belief that stronger communities are built when people come together with shared purpose.
"We lead with our values. This is who we are," said Elizabeth Bartz, President and CEO of State and Federal Communications. "Every achievement in this year's CSR review reflects the dedication of our team and our belief in the power of partnership to create lasting impact."
In 2025, the company contributed $133,044 in corporate philanthropy, including company-matched donations, to organizations addressing food insecurity, literacy, youth development, health, and neighborhood revitalization.
Employees also volunteered throughout the region, giving their time to initiatives that strengthen local neighborhoods, including United Way Day of Action, mentoring, and hands-on service projects with local partners, Girl Scouts of Northeast Ohio, and the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank Harvest for Hunger Campaign.
"I give to our United Way campaign because it reflects our values," said Joe May, Manager of Corporate Social Responsibility. "When State and Federal Communications match every dollar pledged, it shows that giving back isn't just encouraged, it's embedded in who we are."
Locally, Bartz was named the 2025 ATHENA Akron Leadership Award recipient and honored with the Brennan Leadership Award by United Way of Summit & Medina. May was also recognized by United Way as Outstanding Coordinator.
