For Eleventh Straight Year, HFO Recognized as Leader in Corporate Philanthropy

October 17, 2018

According to the Portland Business Journal, HFO Investment Real Estate is a top Corporate Philanthropist for the eleventh year in a row.

“We’re pleased to continue our leadership for regional charitable giving," said marketing director Aaron Kirk Douglas (pictured here accepting the award from publisher Craig Wessel).

For over a decade, HFO has been contributing to a charity of the client's choosing at the close of each apartment transaction.

In addition to distributing thousands of dollars in this manner each year, HFO contributes large lump sums to charities nominated and voted on by its team members.

In 2017, the HFO charitable fund focused on making significant donations to organizations serving homeless families. The HFO team continued that trend in 2018 and voted to keep supporting organizations serving homeless youth and families in the Portland metro area.

Recent significant cash donations and volunteer time were to:

Outside In
Morrison Child and Family Services
Providence Cancer Research Center
Big Brothers/Big Sisters Columbia Northwest
