Giving back is a fundamental principle of Pacific Residential Mortgage. Across our entire platform, PRM team members are dedicated participants in their communities ranging from leadership positions in Chambers of Commerce to serving as committee members of non-profit organizations. Many employees, including our three owners, have been or are currently coaches across the full range of youth athletics. PRM is committed to helping those less fortunate than ourselves not only on a personal level but as part of our corporate culture, per our special mission statement:

Pacific Residential Mortgage Charity Mission Statement

As part of our commitment to give back to the very communities from which we earn our living, Pacific Residential Mortgage supports many different charities that focus on the well being of kids through education, mentorship, overall health, and the prevention of neglect and abuse.

This Bend organization is dedicated to helping Grant Cramer, a young man who was diagnosed at an early age with a developmental disability. Funds are raised through sale of incredible gifts, accessories and handmade hostess aprons (made by Grant’s mother). Corporate sponsors, like PRM, contribute resources to help cover Grant’s intensive home-based therapy program.

Founded in 2004 by Rhonda Meadows, this unique program provides adoption options for kids to prevent them from “aging out” of the foster care system. It is about sustaining an intergenerational community designed to support families adopting kids from foster care while offering safety and meaningful purpose in the daily lives of elders who serve as surrogate grandparents. Bridge Meadows community seeks to give kids access to the tools and resources they will need to become successful, productive adults.

Today, there are over 8,000 kids living in Foster Care homes around Oregon. These homes provide a safe place to stay while the kids’ families get needed help. Foster Care works to promote healthy behaviors while helping people avoid the need for public assistance. Every year, PRM collects and hands out Christmas Gifts to foster kids, based on lists provided by a partnership with the State of Oregon.

The Oregon Food Bank works with a statewide network of partner agencies to distribute food to hungry families. OFB also works to fight hunger’s root causes through public policy advocacy, nutrition and garden education, and by helping communities strengthen their local food systems. Starting in November, PRM conducts food drives for donation to Oregon Food Bank for Holiday distribution to needy families.

Clackamas Women’s Services was first incorporated in 1985 as the county’s only shelter for women and children escaping family violence. To date, CWS has safely harbored over 7,000 women and children at their two local shelters. Every day, thirty two women and children call these shelters “home” as they regain control of their lives and plan for the their futures.

The mission of Dress for Success Oregon is to promote the economic independence of disadvantaged women by providing professional attire,
a network of support, and the career development tools to help women thrive in work and in life. They are also committed to getting low-income women’s lives back on track through financial stability, personal growth, career mentoring, job retention skills, education, and support groups.

CRN works with children in the first, most important years of their life -infants through age 4 – with a mission to keep kids safe and families strong. Their vision is to end child abuse and neglect by providing a range of services that “wrap-around” the family to reduce parental stress and social isolation. Their belief is that by focusing on the social and emotional well-being of the youngest, most vulnerable children, that they can strengthen families.

These charities are supported by PRM on a corporate level per our mission to focus on the well-being of kids. Individual members of the PRM team extend this outreach through their own personal associations. Together, as an organization, we are united in giving back to the communities we serve.
