Ashley Parker of Buckingham Companies has been selected as a member of the inaugural class of the Mutz Philanthropic Leadership Institute. Launched by Indiana Philanthropy Alliance in 2021, the Mutz Institute provides a leadership training experience to skill-up professionals serving in board and executive roles at foundations, corporations and social impact organizations across Indiana.

“To have a company like Buckingham ask us, 'What can we do to help?' is music to our ears. During Buckingham’s service day they made over 200 breakfast burritos, filtered over 1000 items of clothing and organized our house top to bottom!”

Mike Elliott
Director of Involvement, Outreach Inc.

"At Gleaners, we love working with enthusiastic and excited volunteers like Buckingham! In just a few short hours, Buckingham employees processed enough food to provide over 4,800 meals to hungry Hoosiers."

"Buckingham’s commitment to Indy is apparent throughout our city. We are proud to be a recipient of their generous support through volunteers at Indy Urban Acres, and a contribution to making the Downtown Canal Playspace become a reality!"
