We GIVE because we care
At GID and Windsor, people are at the heart of what we do. Our mission is to “Create Communities Where People Truly Feel Cared For” and this extends to our local communities where we do business. Guided by our pillars, our community engagement program, GIVE, energizes our associates, residents, and neighbors to take care of one another.
Our Pillars
Directed by our six guiding pillars, GIVE seeks to deliver comfort, stability, and hope where it is needed most.
Housing
Our lives are built around the places we call home. Our efforts aim to offer shelter and comfort.
Environment
We are all responsible for being good stewards of our planet’s resources. Our efforts provide the resources needed to help create a more sustainable planet.
Hunger Relief
A healthy meal fuels more than just the body – it also satisfies the mind and the soul. Our efforts seek to nourish those in need.
Healthcare
Caring for the health of others is human nature. We strive to nurture healthy communities everywhere, and our efforts support organizations that offer health and wellness resources to all.
Animal Welfare
Pets are vital members of our families and deserve the same level of love. Our efforts help give sanctuary and care to animals.
OneTeamGives
We come together as a team to support our colleagues when they need it most. Our efforts through the OneTeam Fund provide grants to employees experiencing hardships.
Employee Quotes
GIVE makes a difference in the communities we serve and is engrained in our company culture. Helping other people is not only what we do, it is who we are.
“What I appreciate most about GIVE is that it provides us with a moment to step outside of ourselves, to focus on being a positive impact on our local communities”

“Windsor's GIVE program is indispensable, providing our employees with a platform to demonstrate their genuine commitment to cultivating communities we are all proud to call home. Personally, GIVE embodies a core principle instilled in me from a young age: the importance of giving back to the community that has helped GIVE me so much.”

How do we make a difference?
In support of our guiding pillars, the GIVE Program provides a platform for our associates to come together as one team to give back to our local communities. Partnering with non-profit organizations for annual volunteer events and food, clothing, and donation drives, GIVE strives to enact long-term, positive change in the communities where we invest, live, and operate.
Donations
One of our annual charity initiatives, GIVE a Bear, raises funds through the sponsorship of teddy bears to donate to local chapters of the Ronald McDonald House Charities. GIVE A Bear was created because we wanted to make a difference for children who are undergoing medical treatment during the holidays. For over a decade, we have partnered with RMHC chapters as the beneficiaries of $150,000 and 10,000 teddy bears.
Community Service
Each September, our associates from across the country participate in a Day of Service. In partnership with a local non-profit organization in every market, we host an event where our team members can volunteer as a group in the community. Working as team, we build camaraderie while supporting our local communities to impact the lives of others.
