Direct Affect was established in 2005 as the result of a need from the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. From the beginning, our employees gave of their time and resources to help those in need.

Since its conception, employees at APS continue to participate each year in many local outreach programs and charity events. Direct Affect has allowed the company’s culture of giving to take on a life of its own. The events have included  Habitat for Humanity, walking for Juvenile Diabetes Research, sending Care Packages for US troops overseas, contributing to the Crippled Children’s Foundation, United Way, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and PADS (Parent Advocates Down Syndrome). In April of 2019 several Birmingham team members participated in the Walk MS: Birmingham event. Members of our team also volunteered with Better Basics to promote literacy by reading to elementary school children in Birmingham City Elementary Schools during the Spring and in the Fall.

American Pipe employees also invest their time and resources contributing to other local events that help those close to home including community blood drives, rescue missions, youth and children’s homes.

Our philanthropic efforts were highlighted in PHCPPros as part of their "Companies that Give" series.
