GIVING BACK

Since its inception, Compass Properties has put a strong emphasis on giving back as part of its “True North” business approach. Company founders John and Patty Noel established a legacy for supporting causes that improve the lives of others. Today, company President Todd Greenwald and the entire Compass Property team continue to support causes in the communities in which they do business, as well as global efforts focused on helping children, the disadvantaged, and that promote diversity.

Locally, Compass Properties provides support for causes that include the Boys & Girls Club, Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin, Meriter Foundation and Meriter Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Hospital, Operation Bootstrap, Clean Lakes Alliance, Madison Children’s Museum, UW-Stevens Point and UW-Madison, and the Noel Compass Scholar Program, which provides disadvantaged, minority students in Wisconsin’s urban communities with the opportunity to gain a quality education and a meaningful career experience.

Globally, Compass Properties has supported sustainable villages for children and the elderly impacted by the AIDS pandemic in sub-Sahara Africa. It’s current initiative Trees 4 Children grows and processes trees for lumber, which contributes to the financial self-sustainability of a village in Kenya which is home for more than 1,000 HIV/AIDS affected children and elders.
