BCMS Corporate Trust - Social Responsibility

For our clients, our global focus means that we have the resources to make cross-border M&A deals become reality. But our international reach also means that we are acutely aware of those people around the world who are less fortunate. That’s why BCMS Corporate launched the Poor and the Needy Benefit Trust.

In recent years we have focused our corporate philanthropy on helping the most vulnerable residents of Kakinada and Bangalore, India. Funds from our charitable trust in India have gone toward establishing a school and an orphanage as well as toward initiating sustainable farming efforts in Northern India.

Each year one of the directors from BCMS personally visits these projects to observe the impact on the ground and ensure that the projects’ funds are properly applied. Equally important, these trips allow our directors to see the real effects of our corporate philanthropy, by bringing them face-to-face with those people whose lives have changed as a result.

Orphanages in Kakinada and Bangalore

At its core, BCMS Corporate is still a family business. We our familial roots in mind, in 1999, we decided to build an orphanage in Kakinada, then another in Bangalore in 2004. Nearly seventy abandoned and orphaned children live in these facilities. Our continuing support includes funding full-time caregivers and providing for the children’s long-term educational, medical, and nutritional needs.

St. Mark’s Public School

Opened in 2004, St. Mark’s Public School in Kankinada educates over 300 children from needy families each year. In addition to sustaining their education, the BCMS charitable trust meets the children’s food, clothing, and medical needs. Providing for these basic life necessities makes it possible for the children to stay in school and to focus on their studies.

In our community…

In addition to our corporate philanthropy, BCMS would like to highlight some of the noble and charitable efforts that our employees are engaged in within their local communities. BCMS North America provides an extra day off for employees to participate in local charities.

After relocating from Orlando to New York City, Alexandra Barcala became involved in the city through one of NY Cares’ many initiatives. NY Cares coordinates volunteer support for thousands of nonprofit agencies, public schools, and other deserving organizations within the City of New York. Most recently Alexandra participated in the Achilles Kids Hope & Possibility Fun Run which encouraged children with physical disabilities to remain healthy and competitive. Alexandra also recently worked with Kids Enjoy Exercise Now (KEEN), a fun recreational program geared towards children with disabilities who would otherwise not have the opportunity to participate in due to their condition. KEEN pairs each child with a volunteer to ensure a safe yet playful Saturday afternoon while their parents take a breather.
