And if you want to fully capture the environment you have to show
how these interact."

Citizenship
Supporting neighborhood activities and organizations helps the regeneration of a neighborhood, creates tremendous goodwill inside both the neighborhood and our company and is just good business. Our business is influenced by the relationships we establish with the stakeholders in the neighborhoods where we work. Our experience is that these stakeholders respect and work more constructively with a company that has a demonstrated history of neighborhood involvement. That translates into the more efficient execution of investment objectives. A sampling of organizations, causes and activities we have supported or participated in, past and present, are highlighted below.
Arts & Cultural Support for Disadvantaged Youth Low Income Senior Thanksgiving Dinners
Approach
We find that donating time and expertise is tremendously more impactful than just a financial donation. Our experience is that active volunteer participation on boards, panels or task forces brings a business discipline and approach to an organization with far reaching benefits. We encourage and support our Associates time commitment to certain organizations, including out office time during business hours, for these activities and find this to also be a growth experience for our Associates.
School Supplies for Affordable Communities Neighborhood Asset Projects
Focus
We support causes and organizations that reflect the core purpose of PINDAR; those contributing to the transformation of neighborhoods. This includes early childhood education & development, transitional housing and green initiatives.
