NewRez LLC (“NewRez”, the “Company”), a national mortgage lender and servicer, announced in November its intentions to reach one million dollars in charitable donations by the end of 2020. Today, the Company says it has already surpassed that goal just one month later. Under the Company’s NewRez “Neighborhood Outreach Works Community Investment Program (“NewRez NOW”), the Company will continue to double-match all donations made by NewRez employees and company-matched donations to eligible charities.
One component of the giving goal, a program benefiting Toys for Tots called “You Save, We Give”, has played a large role in reaching the one million dollar giving goal. Under “You Save, We Give”, NewRez made a donation to Toys for Tots for every loan locked in the month of November across all business channels. This program, the first in NewRez’s history, involved borrowers in the gift of giving, and helped generate almost half of the current total contributions.
“I am so proud of our NewRez family of companies and all the employee efforts to drive support to their favored nonprofits during such challenging times,” said Bruce Williams, Chief Executive Officer of NewRez. “We are thankful for the overwhelming response to this initiative and to our borrowers for enthusiastically helping us contribute in a big way to Toys for Tots.”
Launched earlier this year, NewRez NOW aims at promoting individual and company-wide investment in the health, vibrancy and sustainability of our communities through charitable contributions, outreach and participation. At the beginning of November, NewRez reported that more than 350 charities had been helped nationwide through employee donations, company match funds, and an employee grant program. As of today, NewRez and its employees have donated to more than 750 nonprofits nationwide.
