Give As You Go™
Living Our Values at Hayden Homes
If you stopped in to visit our office in Redmond, Oregon, off Glacier Place, next to the
high school and across the street from a neighborhood we built years ago, you would
find a mural with giant letters above it reading Give As You Go™ encompassing the
entire wall. You would see a hundred little tiles underneath, each drawn by a Hayden
Homes team member and representing how Hayden Homes has made a difference
in the heart of that employee. Standing in front of this work of art you might feel, as
we do every minute of every day, that there is much more to building homes than
lumber and paint. Home building is a springboard that allows us to do so much more.
It’s a launching pad for families to build wealth for their children’s futures, it’s the
opportunity to solve the housing shortage hurting so many communities across the
Northwest, and it’s a gateway to giving. Through our work, we’re creating the next
generation of givers across the Northwest.
HERE’S HOW WE DO IT:
Every Home Purchase Sparks a Donation: Every time a Hayden
Home is sold, 1/8th of 1% of the sale price ($300,000 Home Price = $375 Donation)
is donated to First Story, a non-profit founded by Hayden Homes. On the initial sale,
Hayden Homes pays the donation in our new homeowner’s name. For the perpetual life
of the home, the current homeowner pays the donation for the next homeowner each
time the home sells. In 2019, Hayden Homes paid forward $608,666. To date, $3.46M
has been contributed to First Story through the charitable covenant.
Employee Donations: Hayden Homes employees give generously to First
Story through a regular payroll deduction, which is matched 100 percent by the
company. Over $676,873 has been contributed to date.
Paid Volunteer Time: Since 2017, every team member is encouraged to
personally give to their community through 16 hours of paid volunteer time. A total
of $41,624 in wages and 1,437 hours have been donated in our communities through
volunteer time contributed by our employees.
We Engage Our Partners: Our trade and supply industry partners regularly
donate to First Story in the form of in-kind donations and services valued at $2.25
million.
