Giving Back with Heart How CMI Research is Making a Difference

Social impact

At CMI Research, we love data—but we love people even more. And while uncovering insights and solving complex client challenges is our jam, we also believe in using our time, talent, and heart to make the world a little brighter.

From helping families close to home to supporting rising changemakers around the globe, here’s how we’re giving back and lifting up communities one initiative at a time.

🌞 Packing Sunshine for Kids at Nicholas House

What’s better than a box full of happiness? That’s what we aimed to deliver when we partnered with Nicholas House, an incredible Atlanta non-profit helping families experiencing homelessness get back on their feet.

Our team assembled “Sunshine Boxes” for the kids living there—filled with goodies, encouragement, and a whole lot of love. Just a small way to bring big smiles to young faces.

🎁 Holiday Cheer at Ronald McDonald House

No one wants to be far from home during the holidays—especially when your child is in the hospital. That’s why we teamed up with the Ronald McDonald House, putting together thoughtful welcome gift bags for families arriving during the festive season.

It’s not magic, but it’s close: a warm hug in bag form.

🌍 Empowering Global Youth with Kectil

Helping leaders of tomorrow? Count us in.

We’re proud to partner with Kectil, a non-profit that mentors talented young people in developing countries. Every year, we support and analyze their YouthTalk survey, which dives into the challenges and dreams of the next generation of global changemakers.

The goal? Give youth a voice—and then amplify it with data that makes a difference.

Why We Do It đŸ’«

At CMI, social impact isn’t a box we check—it’s part of who we are. Whether we’re digging into insights for our clients or donating time and resources to our community, we believe in showing up, giving back, and making people feel seen.
