Team spotlight: Texas Enrollment Broker Outreach

May 6, 2025

For the Texas Enrollment Broker (EB) Outreach team, giving back is woven into the fabric of their everyday lives. Whether it’s Maximus Foundation donor campaigns, visiting local nonprofits to learn more about their work, support as Foundation Ambassadors, or in-kind donation drives, they value any opportunity to connect with their Texas communities.

The EB team serves their communities through their work at Maximus. We work with this population daily, so it’s easy to develop relationships and awareness for those in different situations and different needs. The heartfelt empathy and compassion are always on the forefront of their relationships in the community and their efforts to give back.

Last year, as part of a yearly tradition, the team celebrated the holidays through charity, with most of their regional teams participating in some holiday-giving activity. Across the state, holiday cheer and kindness could be felt as the staff connected with local organizations and causes to support were chosen by each regional team.

From packing bags of fresh produce for families with Brighter Bites to reading to children in the foster care system at In His Hands Children’s Home, the team successfully contributed to several organizations supporting their local communities.

Texas organizations benefiting from Foundation support:

Senior Life (Midland, Texas)
Blue Ribbon Christmas Project (Department of Family and Protective Services)
Coastal Bend Food Bank
Texas Colonias Initiative
Starr County Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) Foster Care program
Buckner Rio Grande Valley Children's Home
Crossroads Community Services
SAFE Alliance

Colleagues and teams like Texas EB show us the impact of coming together to create positive change in the communities where we live and work. Even after the holidays, they still come together to learn more about the issues affecting their community and how they can help. When it comes to giving back, this team knows how to give with a heart bigger than the state of Texas.

Giving back to the communities we serve

The Maximus Foundation is one of the ways Maximus colleagues are doing something greater together. Established by the Maximus Board of Directors in 2000, the Maximus Foundation is an independent, colleague-led, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Maximus team members pool their charitable contributions together through the Foundation, double their impact on the grantmaking program through Maximus’ dollar-for-dollar matching pledge, and make their voices heard by nominating and voting for future grantee partners. Though the Foundation focuses its giving strategy on grantmaking, it also helps coordinate corporate-wide humanitarian efforts and empowers staff to donate their time and skills to nonprofits. Their inspired giving and volunteerism help accelerate the missions of nonprofits on the front lines of the communities we serve. Learn more at the Maximus Foundation website.
