Dunn Associates
Community Involvement and Committment
We Care about our Community
Mike believes in giving back to his community and has mentored many individuals, from troubled teens to business startups at the Yale Entrepreneurial Institute.
We Care about our Environment
As a co-founder of the non-profit volunteer organization, "Friends of the Oswegatchie Hills Nature Preserve" in 2000, Mike has been a driving force in creating the 450 acre Nature Preserve in East Lyme, CT with public/private partnerships and is Director Emeritus as a board member today. Mike is committed to protecting and expanding the Hills for future generations to enjoy.
We Care about people
Among Mike's most important philanthropic interests is Dances with Wood, a charity that is a Creative Arts Program that empowers and inspires children who are hospitalized with cancer and other serious illnesses.
Playscape for Montessori School
Mike designed, built, and donated this natural playscape to the Montessori School in Old Saybrook, CT
Solar Power
Dunn Associates was an early adopter of solar power for producing electricity for it's self storage investments in 2008. Rent-A-Space installed roof-top solar panels in East Lyme and Waterford which generate half of our electricity needs. We thank the Connecticut Clean Energy Fund for helping to make this possible.
Most recently, Mike designed and built a solar powered, "Off the Grid" cabin deep in the woods of New Hampshire.
