Building a Corporate Giving Program
Dave Meyer, president of Meyer Companies, asked an important question three years ago. “How do you go about funding community needs when you’re bombarded with the requests of so many worthwhile 
organizations?”
For Meyer Companies, the answer was to establish the Meyer Companies, LLC, Charitable Fund to organize the company’s giving and to encourage employees to leverage their commercial construction skills through volunteer opportunities.
The Meyer Companies, LLC, Charitable Fund has already made quite a difference! Employees have built a fence around Marion Hope Center, poured a concrete pad for playground equipment, and painted and installed new lighting at Ronald McDonald House. And for the first time, a dedicated advisory committee at Meyer Companies sets the annual budget for corporate giving, putting just the right infrastructure around the company’s gifts of time, talent and treasure to the community.

Partnering with Solar Link
Two Lee’s Summit companies — Pave Guard Technologies Inc. and The Meyer Cos. — are creating a third.
The new entity, tentatively named Renewable Solutions Distribution, will employ 25 workers with an average salary of about $40,000 at a 20,000-square-foot distribution center on Hamblen Road in Lee’s Summit.
The distribution center, owned by The Meyer Cos., will expand Pave Guard’s sales of solar technology components, including solar panels, rooftop solar systems and solar tracking products. They are offered by Pave Guard’s subsidiary, Solar Link.
Through a strategic partnership agreement, The Meyer Cos., a commercial construction and real estate management firm, will take over installation of all Solar Link products.
In addition, the two companies will work together on jobs involving tilt-up concrete walls containing radiant heating.
