Rethink Partners with New Story to Help End Global Homelessness
Rethink will donate 1% of proceeds from all new sales and 1% of its employees' work hours to the non-profit charity
AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Rethink, the leading provider of commercial real estate dealmaking technology, today announced a partnership with New Story, a non-profit charity dedicated to pioneering solutions that end global homelessness.
The partnership consists of two commitments:
- Rethink will donate 1% of proceeds from all new sales to New Story.
- Rethink employees will donate 1% of their work hours toward volunteering with the organization.
"Everyone deserves a safe place to live, a place to call home," said Rethink CEO Vijay Mehra. "It's our hope that these contributions will, in some small way, help New Story achieve their goal of ending global homelessness."
Vijay went on to explain that, for Rethink, commercial real estate has always represented economic opportunity, and the most basic opportunity starts with a safe place to live. As Rethink continues to help its clients shape their communities, New Story is helping to build new communities that empower families to thrive.
"There are more than 1B people without access to adequate housing. This is a massive problem that requires bold and innovative partners to set up in generosity to impact families. We are thrilled for Rethink to join us in the pursuit of pioneering solutions to end global homelessness," said New Story CEO Brett Hagler.
Since 2015, New Story has served more than 11,000 people, building 25 communities in four countries. Because they are funded directly by a group that covers operational expenses, every dollar they collect in donations goes toward ending homelessness.
