Connecting with one’s community has always been at the heart of Aureon’s mission. Beyond delivering technology, infrastructure, and talent solutions to help businesses thrive, Aureon actively invests in the people and communities that support these same businesses. Through the AUCares program and other community initiatives, Aureon extends its purpose beyond business to building stronger, more connected communities across Iowa.
“Being Iowa-based and Iowa-owned means our commitment here goes far beyond business. We employ Iowans, work alongside Iowans, and deeply believe in giving back to the communities that support us,” said Matthew Lanasa, Chief People Officer at Aureon.
Driving Impact Through AUCares
In 2025, Aureon contributed $45,500 through its AUCares initiatives, which supported nonprofit organizations in the areas of childhood wellness, education, and leadership development. From supporting families facing childhood illness to empowering veterans, single parents, and youth programs, AUCares amplifies Aureon’s belief that collective action drives meaningful change.
Through sponsorships and employee-driven giving, AUCares has provided resources to organizations such as ChildServe, Pinky Swear Foundation, Childhood Cancer Connection, Friends of Iowa CASA, and Single Parent Provision, among many others. Each partnership highlights Aureon’s continued dedication to creating opportunities and strengthening the fabric of the communities it serves.
