Core5’s founding members have long been advocates of community stewardship, actively participating in organizations that support the causes they care about. In keeping with our core principles, we invest resources to bring value to communities and residents now and into the future.
Community stewardship is part of everyday life at Core5. We support our employees’ commitment to their local communities through volunteer time, sponsorships, fundraising support and matching gifts. We often organize opportunities for our employees to volunteer together, create bonds to their communities and support each other in ways that go beyond the office. We see community involvement as the path to creating a better place for our employees and neighbors through education, the environment and other worthwhile causes.
