Each year, the NinjaTrader team makes it a priority to support communities where we live and work through service, sponsorships, and shared experiences. Whether through formal events or grassroots volunteering, we believe in showing up and giving back.
This year, our commitment to community was on full display at the 2025 CME Group Tour Championship, where golf and goodwill came together for a cause. NinjaTrader was proud to participate in this prestigious PGA TOUR Champions event, joining industry partners and fans in support of local youth development and educational programs. NinjaTrader CEO Martin (Marty) Franchi hit the course and represented our team with both swing and spirit.
Championing community through the CME Group Tour Championship
Held annually in Naples, Florida, the CME Group Tour Championship marks the grand finale of the LPGA Tour season. More than just a sporting event, it brings awareness and support to the LPGA Foundation and Girls Golf—organizations focused on creating opportunity through sports, education, and empowerment.
As a participating sponsor, NinjaTrader joined other industry leaders to celebrate excellence on the course and impact off it. Our involvement reflects our broader values: uplifting others, investing in the future, and staying engaged in moments that matter.
Empowering employees to make a difference
Community engagement at NinjaTrader doesn’t stop at sponsorships. It’s embedded in our culture. Every employee receives one employer-sponsored paid service day per year to use for volunteer work. Whether serving meals, supporting animal shelters, or mentoring youth, our team members have embraced this opportunity to give their time and talents to causes close to home and heart.
NinjaTrader employees have volunteered with organizations across Chicago and beyond, including:
- All Stars Project
- Anti-Cruelty Chicago
- Bounce Children’s Foundation
- Colorado Coalition for the Homeless
- Fight For Air Climb (American Lung Association)
- Make-A-Wish Foundation
- Nourishing Hope
- One Tail at a Time
- PAWS Chicago
- Shedd Aquarium
- T4Youth
- Women In Financial Markets
- Immigrant and refugee community services
- Local food pantries and homeless shelters
- Public cleanups along Chicago’s beaches and streets
This diversity of service reflects the individuality of our team, with each person choosing to support causes that resonate personally, while contributing to the greater good.
Building connection beyond our trading platform
Just as we aim to support traders with technology and tools, we strive to support people through action and empathy. Community involvement is one more way we can live out our values, foster meaningful connections, and be a positive presence beyond our screens.
As we close out 2025, we’re grateful for the chance to step outside our day-to-day work and engage with the world in ways that matter. From the fairways of Florida to the streets of Chicago, the NinjaTrader community continues to grow—not just as traders, but as neighbors, volunteers, and friends.
