AIM: A For-Betterment Company

AIM is a for-betterment company that measures success according to a quadruple bottom line of performance, meaning we are dedicated to performing well financially, environmentally, socially, and in how we treat people. AIM is committed to achieving our mission while making a positive impact on the community and world, as well as with the people we employ, serve, and interact.

    At AIM, our quadruple bottom line means:

  • We are People Foucused—Our shared work culture empowers both volunteers and our team to realize their potential through collective efforts and investment in technology that drives efficiency and outcomes.
  • We are Purpose Driven—We are inspired by the work of our partners. Our partnership is not just a business transaction—it is a relationship built common goals.
  • We are stewards of our Planet—We find ways to minimize both AIM’s and our business partners’ ecological footprints. We maximize our business partners’ efforts to be good stewards of their communities and the world.
  • We put Profit in Nonprofit—We understand that a healthy profit margin is key to building a financial immune system for any business, even a nonprofit organization. We enhance our partners’ bottom lines by providing economies of scale and sharing resources while minimizing their liabilities.

Tribe Culture

AIM has a unique company culture. We strive to hire and retain the brightest thought leaders in the industry.

Every person has a voice, and there is respect at every level. We reward success, which strengthens employee loyalty and morale—qualities our member partners notice and appreciate.
