Philanthropy
Our Communities
Being a good neighbor sits at the heart of being a good corporate citizen. Through these efforts, we look to build stronger communities with our presence, and create a sense of place at our centers.
Philanthropy
Not only do we hire the best talent in our local and regional markets, we also make sure that we spend time improving those communities. Since our employees live in the communities they serve, there is a great passion for philanthropic efforts as part of our Core Values. Employees are encouraged to support these causes with donation-matching, as well as up to 52 hours of paid time off per year to volunteer. This type of involvement and interaction helps to deepen the bond between Regency and our communities, which is crucial for our long-term success.
Regency directly sponsors a variety of opportunities, including annual giving and volunteer campaigns. In 2019, our employees and company gave $1.4 million to charitable causes and approximately 75% of us donated our time through volunteer hours. Thanks to our employees’ time, effort, and generous giving an incredible amount of change occurred in 2019.
Recently, we have developed a new charitable contribution program. The ouRCommunities Program provides Regency employees the opportunity to participate in selecting an organization to receive a gift to support work furthering a cause that is important to them, and makes a difference in our communities. The ouRCommunities Program is another opportunity for our employees to engage in Regency’s giving efforts every year.
