That commitment drives us to continuously seek meaningful ways to give back. In 2025, through our charitable organization, the IDEX Foundation, we proudly donated more than $327,500 to local organizations and causes near our facilities.

Day of Caring

Our incredible team in Rochester, NY recently rolled up their sleeves for our 13th annual Day of Caring! Over 25 volunteers spent the day at the Rochester Childfirst Network (RCN)—remulching play areas, weeding, raking, and trimming hedges to ensure their outdoor spaces are ready for learning and play.

RCN is an amazing nonprofit dedicated to advancing the quality of early education and care in Western New York, providing an inclusive, curiosity-inspiring environment where children truly thrive. To top off an impactful day, we were thrilled to present RCN with a $25,000 donation from the IDEX Foundation to support their mission of direct services, leadership, and advocacy for local children.
