Although mentoring is our focus, the ALKrew gives back to local communities in many different ways. We’ve been recognized by Boston Business Journal as a Top Charitable Contributor in Massachusetts for the fourth year.

The ALKU Foundation builds on ALKU’s Corporate Giving Back program offerings and expands the scope of giving through grant-making for youth-serving nonprofit organizations across Massachusetts.

Each year since 2015, ALKU has partnered with Mass Mentoring Partnership to provide a $30,000 academic scholarship, or $7,500 per academic year, to a rising High School senior in Massachusetts. This scholarship recipient has been positively impacted by a mentoring relationship and plans to attend a 4-year College or University.
