We are stewards of our company and its employees, but we also serve the communities in which we work and live. Together, we can create a more sustainable tomorrow.

Over the years, INTERA has provided funding and sponsorship, knowledge, and on-site volunteering to Well Aware as they work towards sustainable water solutions in East African communities.

INTERA, along with the CEO of Nuclein, provided a $20,000 match for all donations made to Well Aware’s 2023 Shower Strike. That’s 1,333 people who will now have access to clean water for LIFE!

In honor of Pride Month 2023, INTERA held an internal fundraiser to benefit The Trevor Project. Their organization makes a profound difference in the lives of LGBTQ young people who are more than four times as likely to attempt suicide than their peers. Spearheaded by Spectra, INTERA’s employee interest group for LGBTQIA+ employees and their allies, this endeavor was able to raise thousands of dollars. The Trevor Project seeks to combat and ultimately eradicate suicide within this vulnerable community, and we are eager to support them in their mission.

INTERA is a long-time supporter of Meals on Wheels Central Texas. Our founder, Ron Lantz, spent many of his retirement years volunteering for MOWCT, and INTERA has often been a title sponsor of the Meals on Wheels Golf Benefit. Moved by his dedication to their cause, MOWCT named a popular menu item after him – the Ron Lantz Meatloaf! In honor of his legacy, we continue to help this organization provide meals to hungry, and often homebound, seniors in our Texas communities.

Every year, our Albuquerque, New Mexico, office donates money and canned goods to the Roadrunner Food Bank during the holiday season. Roadrunner’s work helps reduce food insecurity throughout the entire state of New Mexico where 1 in 5 children are hungry, and  1 in 8 people are at risk of hunger.

In 2022, INTERA held a holiday fundraiser to support the exceptional work of GEM Environmental. They are a scientific charity that provides services on conservation projects. However, their mission is not only to contribute to environmental sustainability but to enrich students in STEM fields through various educational opportunities. These opportunities include paid internships, scholarships, workforce development programs, service projects, and hands-on experiential learning, empowering the next generation of environmental stewards.

In 2023, INTERA became a “Founding 50 Member” of The Groundwater Project. Their mission is to provide accessible high-quality educational materials about groundwater and groundwater sustainability because they know that this knowledge is fundamental to solving the global water crisis. Over 1,000 groundwater professionals are volunteering to write, review, publish, and promote 200 books. So far, 32 books have been downloaded online, free of charge, over 130,000 times in 74 countries, and in 24 languages. We are thrilled to be able to support The Groundwater Project in this important endeavor.

As of 2023, INTERA has joined the Great Springs Project as a partner in its mission to ensure clean water for the residents of Central Texas and to enrich our natural and built environments for the benefit of our communities. To do so, GSP plans to create a greenway of protected lands between Austin and San Antonio over the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone. The end result is a long network of trails that connect four Texas springs together, providing new opportunities for community health and recreation, as well as environmental conservation.
