Celebrating 30 Years!

2023 marks Cinnaire'sย 30th Year transforming communities! It all started with Mark McDaniel at a card table with a phone and aย rolodex in 1993. In 2023, we have six offices, 150 team members and we've generated more thanย $10 billion in community impact. Cinnaire is celebrating this monumental anniversary throughout the year with throwbacks on social media, celebrations with our team and partners, and days of dedicated community service across our organization.ย
