Guaranteed Rate raised $1.09 million for nine military-focused nonprofits as part of the company’s “Break the Bank” campaign, more than doubling its fundraising goal.
The campaign, from May 15-22, set out to raise $500,000, with the company matching donations from its employees and the community by a ratio of 2-to-1, up to $350,000.
The money raised will go to nonprofit organizations that support the U.S. military community and offer programs for housing, employment, therapeutic retreats and other work in support of military veterans.
Those organizations are: Blinded Veterans Association; Fisher House Foundation; Hiring Our Heroes; Operation Deploy Your Dress; Operation Healing Forces; Operation Gratitude; Operation Homefront; Team Red, White & Blue; and Veterans Future Foundation.
“Supporting our military heroes goes beyond recognition; it’s about making a tangible daily impact in their lives,” said Yvonne Coombes, director of military outreach for Guaranteed Rate. “The overwhelming success of ‘Break the Bank’ demonstrates our community’s dedication to providing the resources and support our military members deserve.”
