BUILDING COMMUNITY

We support community initiatives that align with our three thoughtfully identified focus areas: EDUCATION, ENVIRONMENT, SHELTER & BASIC NEEDS. Through the Crescent Communities CARES volunteer and charitable giving program, we cultivate a culture of passionate engagement, and we tackle difficult issues such as affordable housing, chronic homelessness, educational disparity, and the climate crisis.

Trees are the lifeblood of our communities, providing shade, oxygen, protection from wind and noise, food and shelter for wildlife, filtering stormwater, reducing energy consumption, increasing home values, and offsetting carbon emissions. While we strive to make business decisions that have a minimal environmental impact, Crescent Communities understands that the real estate development process can put our green space and tree canopy at risk. Understanding the importance of a strong urban canopy, Crescent Communities actively supports organizations across the country that work to ensure that all residents have access to the health and environmental benefits that trees provide. In addition to providing financial support, our teams participate in tree planting events annually.

Nashville Tree Foundation

Our first tree planting of the year took place in Nashville on March 17th. Partnering with the Nashville Tree Foundation, the Crescent Communities team joined forces with the NOVEL Edgehill leasing team to plant dozens of trees in Tony Rose Park. The team was proud to add green to the tree canopy on St. Patrick’s Day!

Treesatlanta

In November, the Atlanta team joined forces to plant much needed trees in the South Bend Park area of Atlanta. It was a chilly day, but the team worked hard and warmed up quickly. Our first planting with TreesAtlanta was a rewarding experience, and we look forward to many more.

Treescharlotte

In December, the Crescent Communities team sponsored a tree giveaway and helped to distribute trees to firsttime tree planters. We are pleased to continue our longstanding relationship with TreesCharlotte!

THE PARK PEOPLE, DENVER DIGS TREES

In May, our Denver team partnered with the Park People of Denver in support of the Denver Digs Trees Initiative. The program provides free and affordable trees throughout the community with a special focus on low-canopy neighborhoods. Our first planting with the organization was a huge success!
