Amherst Launches Annual “Day of Giving Back” Initiative

Amherst Media Release

Amherst employees to support over 40 charities across the U.S. as part of inaugural event

November 29, 2022 – AUSTIN, TX – The Amherst Group, LLC (“Amherst”), a real estate investment, development and operating platform, is proud to announce the launch of the firm’s inaugural “Day of Giving Back.” Amherst’s Day of Giving Back, taking place on Thursday, December 8, will provide full time employees formal time each year outside of dedicated Volunteer Time Off to participate in various volunteer activities in the local markets the firm has a presence in.

In its inaugural year, over 1,000 Amherst employees will be participating in the firmwide initiative, which is on track to support over 40 charities across 38 U.S. markets, with significant presence in Austin, the company’s headquarters, New York City, Atlanta, Charlotte and Louisville. With 1 in 5 Americans reporting food insecurity in this year1, the firm’s launch of Day of Giving Back is particularly focused on providing hunger relief across the nation. 65% of volunteer projects will be at local food banks, including but not limited to Central Texas Food Bank, CAMAL House Food Pantry, and Second Harvest Food Bank.

“As housing solutions providers, we intimately understand the importance of supporting and uplifting the communities we have a presence in. In recognition of this, we are reimagining our year-end holiday celebrations to ensure they reflect our ongoing commitment to service,” said Sean Dobson, Chairman and CEO of Amherst. “I am extremely proud of the Amherst team for developing this important initiative and look forward to Amherst’s Day of Giving Back becoming an annual tradition for Amherst employees to enjoy as we celebrate our hard work while giving back and building community.”

Additional market participants will volunteer at homeless and community centers, participate in park cleanups, build hygiene kits for homeless veterans and a “winter kit” building activity through Cap City Kids, an Austin-based nonprofit organization dedicated to providing high impact services to students facing homelessness. Cap City Kids was co-founded in 2005 in the wake of Hurricane Katrina by Amherst’s Sean Dobson and Joslyn Dobson, Board Member of The Amherst Group’s Advisory Council.

About the Amherst Group
