Trips For Kids

In April, the Crescent Communities CARES team took part in the 2022 Earthshare Corporate Challenge. Our team was paired with Trips for Kids, and we spent our time breaking down

Habitat For Humanity

Charlotte-area multifamily developers and partners joined forces to fund and build a home in partnership with Habitat for Humanity of the Charlotte Region. Organized by Crescent Communities, this event was the fourth Multifamily Developers Build. The Crescent team had the pleasure of kicking off construction in April, watching the progress through the summer, and joining the happy and deserving homeowners for a dedication event in October.

the region. In the fall, colleagues joined forces with other area corporations for the annual Sort-a-Rama event in the Charlotte Convention Center to pack more than 16,000 food boxes for families in need!

The Valley Partnership is an advocacy group supporting responsible development in the Phoenix area. In November, our Phoenix office spent a Saturday alongside 300 industry partners providing landscaping in support of the House of Refuge, a community providing transitional housing and wraparound support programs to families experiencing homelessness.

Classroom Central Donation Drive

In August, our team gathered a record number of school supply items in support of Classroom Central. Our colleagues donated more than 5,200 items, supporting the academic success of high-needs students throughout the Charlotte area.

She Built This City And Berryhill School

In October, Crescent colleagues joined forces with She Built This City to build picnic tables with 8th grade students from Berryhill School. Together, we empowered the students to build something with their hands that the whole school will enjoy. Our team also shared our career paths and talked about the many opportunities to establish a meaningful career in the construction trades. We are pleased to support these incredible students and the work of She Built This City, a nonprofit sparking interest in construction and maker trades for women and girls.

Catawba Riverkeeper

In December, Crescent Communities team members gathered with our friends from Land Design and the Catawba Riverkeeper for a shoreline clean up event onsite at The River District. In total, over 2,100 pounds of trash and debris were removed, supporting the environmental stewardship of our natural habitat and precious Catawba River.

A Roof Above

In December, colleagues gathered to make sandwiches in support of “Operation Sandwich” at A Roof Above. The organization typically serves more than 800 sandwiches to those in need on a daily basis. Our support helped feed families struggling with homelessness and provided much needed nourishment and nutrition.

Salvation Army Angel Tree And Silver Bells

Colleagues generously donated new toys and clothing for children, and gift cards for seniors, during our Angel Tree Donation Drive in December. Because of our efforts, 20 children and 15 seniors had gifts to open during the holiday season. Together with other areaorganizations, the Salvation Army of Charlotte provided gifts for more than 3,000 families in need in 2022.

Junior Achievement

In addition to financially supporting the efforts of Junior Achievement of Atlanta, Georgia, several colleagues volunteered their time to serve as project coaches for the 3DE program offered to students in high-needs schools in the Atlanta area. This program offers real-life examples designed to prepare students for life beyond the classroom walls. The Crescent coaches developed a real-life business scenario and coached the students through the development of their own plans for success through the Senior Capstone program.

Crescent is pleased to help make a difference for these bright students!

Charitable Matching Program

To further reinforce our mission to Build Community and Better People’s Lives, Crescent Communities supports the spirit of giving among colleagues. Recognizing the important work that nonprofit organizations do to lift our community, Crescent Communities offers a financial match on charitable contributions. Qualified donations of up to $250 are matched on an annual basis. We are pleased to support the organizations that our colleagues find meaningful and appreciate their support of the community. Recognizing the impact of this match, the team will be increasing the annual donation match to $500 in 2023.
