GIVING BACK

 

    Sharing Our Success

    Silverton's mission statement: Originate the highest quality loans for our borrowers, investors and partners. But we believe our mission goes even further. Our mission includes our commitment to give back to our communities; to share our success and good fortune with those who need a little extra help.

    Since our founding in 1998, Silverton and our employees have consistently given back:

    The Silverton Foundation, 2012

    We're proud to announce that a long-time vision of our company president, Josh Moffitt, is now coming to  fruition.  Plans are rolling along on schedule to kick off The Silverton Foundation in the second quarter of 2012! With our mission and vision clearly established, the first phase of planning is completed and we are now in the process of filing for our 501(c)3.

     

    MISSION

    The Silverton Foundation's mortgage and rent assistance program for families with hospitalized children helps families maintain their homes, and reduces financial and emotional burdens during times of crisis

     

    VISION
    Our vision is to focus the efforts of The Silverton Foundation on providing assistance, in the form of monthly mortgage or rent payments, to families with hospitalized children. We realize that "home" is an important center for families, a place to return after the crisis subsides, a place where continued care may be provided, a place where loved ones wait for a child's return. Our goal is that by providing housing financial assistance, families are under a lessened financial and emotional burden, allowing them to concl entrate their efforts on their ill child.

     

    We'll keep you posted on The Silverton Foundation's progress.  If you would like to find out more about the Foundation or how you could help, please email sammoffitt@silvertonmortgage.com.
