COMMUNIT Y ENGAGEMENT
As part of the Heart of Highwoods program, our
Highwoods Helps community service initiative
provides our coworkers additional opportunities
to make a difference in the lives of others. To
encourage our coworkers to volunteer their time, we
have established Martin Luther King day as a paid
holiday and offer full-time coworkers an additional
eight hours of paid time off annually to volunteer
in their community through our volunteer time off
program. In 2022, we supported numerous community
organizations focused on job creation, veterans and
basic essential needs.
Our support for charitable and community activities
is done with the sole intention of making our
communities better places to live and work. As a REIT,
Highwoods generally does not receive tax benefits from
charitable giving.
Some of the organizations Highwoods supported
in 2022 include:
• 7 Days for the Troops
• A Place at the Table
• American Cancer Society
• American Heart Association
• American Red Cross
• Blue Ridge Alliance Corridor
• The Boy Scouts of America
• The Bright Light Foundation
• Center for a Humane Economy
