SILICON VALLEY, Calif., Nov. 10, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Christie's International Real Estate Sereno is honored to announce that it has been ranked #27 on the Silicon Valley Business Journal's Top 50 Corporate Givers list for fiscal year 2022. This recognition places the organization alongside other civic-minded companies, including Sobrato Philanthropies, the San Francisco 49ers, Gilead Sciences Inc., and Alphabet.
Sereno 1% For Good Charitable Foundation came to fruition in 2012 when a small group of thoughtful agents from the Christie's International Real Estate Sereno Santa Cruz office started a hyper local initiative to give back, beginning with a $5,000 grant to the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Search & Rescue Team.
"One of our top priorities from day one has been to give back to the places we live in and love. This recognition is humbling because it means that we are positively impacting the communities we serve and contributing to their greater good. We are incredibly grateful for and inspired by the contributions of our agents and staff and honored to support such exceptional nonprofits," shared Ryan Iwanaga, Co-Founder and Chief Experience Officer at Christie's International Real Estate Sereno.
Today Sereno 1% For Good Charitable Foundation is divided into five distinct funds - Community Impact, Disaster Relief, Ecosystem, Education, and Equity & Access, each supporting a unique aspect of caring for the communities where the company lives, works, and serves.
"We are beyond grateful to our clients for choosing Christie's International Real Estate Sereno, our agents and staff for believing in the greater good, and the commitment of leadership to make giving part of our DNA," expressed Kirsty Duncan, Director of Social Impact at Christie's International Real Estate Sereno.
Since the inception of this agent-driven initiative in 2012, Christie's Sereno has contributed to over 487 philanthropic organizations throughout 11 counties in California and donated over $5.9 million.
