Giving back to the Silicon Valley communities we serve
We've worked in these neighborhoods since 1996. Some of our time and support goes back into them, through Compass Cares and local fundraisers, and we want to hear about the causes you care about.
how we give back
Three ways we show up
Real estate is local. So is the help.

Time and donations
Compass Cares is Compass's charitable program. It lets agents and employees give time and donations to the local causes they choose.
- local events
Fundraisers with local businesses
In 2019 we hosted a food truck fundraiser with local vendors and sent the proceeds to a Silicon Valley nonprofit.

Giving where it counts most: at home
Compass announced Compass Cares in 2018. The idea is simple: the people who serve a community know best where help is needed.
"With Compass Cares, our people will give their time and donations locally in ways that are personally meaningful to them — because no one knows a community better than the agents and employees who serve it."

Food trucks for My Digital TAT2
In August 2019 we teamed up with Compass Cares for our first food truck fundraiser, at Artisan Wine Depot in Los Gatos.
Four food trucks and hundreds of people came out for lunch. Proceeds went to My Digital TAT2, a Silicon Valley nonprofit that runs hands-on workshops with schools, students and parents about using technology, social media and online privacy in healthy, positive ways.
