2020 ESG Report Executive Summary

Page 16

PHILANTHROPY The person-to-person relationships we have built are at the very core of our business and personal values. As a company, we are dedicated to making a difference in the lives of our team members, investors, health care partners, and those who visit our properties. With those values in mind, DOC always strives to “pay it forward” by seeking opportunities to broaden our impact on the communities in which we operate. In addition to our volunteer activities, Physicians Realty Trust provides monetary support to nonprofit organizations. Having exceeded our $300,000 philanthropic goal for 2020 by over 15%, DOC has increased its 2021 commitment to charitable giving to $350,000. This goal marks our most ambitious yearly philanthropic goal to date. Still, it’s a number we’re confident we will exceed as we add to the over

$1 million in total charitable contributions DOC has made since the company’s inception. In 2020, we deepened our partnerships with our health care partners’ philanthropic foundations to assist in their community outreach, contributing $163,000 to their local efforts. One of our signature partners is Tennessee-based nonprofit cureHUNTER, which raises money for pediatric cancer research. Through a commitment to research and advocacy, cureHUNTER works to end the emotional, physical, and mental devastation of childhood cancer. Collectively, DOC’s direct corporate donations and fundraising events have provided $269,500 for this critical cause since 2013.
