With partnerships across the country, we at Towne Park are committed to a keen and active awareness of how we can positively impact the world around us, as well as the communities in which we serve. From our on-the-ground, grassroots community projects of our associates, to our nationwide give-back initiatives, our sense of social responsibility is reflected in our efforts to help the next generation achieve its potential through service.
We are leaders in the green garage movement, with senior level representation on the Green Parking Council’s board of directors and credentialing committee. Towne Park is a Platinum Launch Partner of the Green Parking Council, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, whose mission is to bring greater sustainability to all aspects of the parking industry.
Our goal is to foster corporate citizenship, sustainability and socially responsible initiatives across our communities. Through Towne Green, we strive to inspire and educate our associates to be greener citizens, in addition to making our facilities and operations more green nationwide.

Originally founded as The Check Foundation in 2004, The Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization furthers our mission to serve and support the communities in which Towne Park associates live and work. The Foundation’s charitable focus is to help children in need, specifically with education.
Through this organization, we support and contribute to other nonprofit organizations providing educational resources, tutoring, learning-disabilities instruction, special needs and extraordinary educational programs. In addition to supporting other non-profit and philanthropic organizations, The Foundation has disbursed over $175,000 in financial assistance to various individuals since 2004.
We were able to lift-up our employees and family members with basic necessities, such as deposits for temporary housing, prescriptions and insurance deductibles, after a devastating event such as a home fire or a destructive hurricane. All Towne Park associates also have the opportunity to offer their support through tax-deductible donations, thanks to our Associate Donation Program.

In November 2007, Towne Park lost a colleague, friend and family member, and The Foundation lost one of its largest supporters – Robert James Valentine. To honor his memory, Towne Park and The Foundation joined forces to create the Valentine Memorial Scholarship.
Part of Bob’s passion in life was teaching others what he learned, developing people’s talents and strengths, and encouraging individuals to pursue their dreams and aspirations. The Foundation, along with friends, family and colleagues, created this scholarship to honor Bob’s memory and passion for life.
Annually, The Foundation awards one student a $10,000 college tuition scholarship to be disbursed in equal installments per college semester. So long as the recipient remains eligible, the foundation will continue to provide financial support during their two- or four-year undergraduate program. During their college tenure, a recipient could receive up to $40,000 in tuition assistance from the foundation and the Valentine Memorial Scholarship Fund.
