“‘Every day matters’ is a value that’s at the root of our
approach to helping today’s home buyers and sellers,” said Joe
O’Donnell, Vice President Customer Experience at Offerpad. “‘Every
day matters’ is even more critical when it comes to taking care of
our environment and communities. It’s something that impacts all of
us, every day, and we couldn’t be more excited that this
opportunity can help empower our customers to put environmental
sustainability into action by assisting and supporting Offerpad’s
commitment to The National Forest Foundation’s 50 Million for Our
Forests campaign.”
With more than 1 million acres in need of reforestation,2 the
NFF is leading conservation efforts to restore and enhance publicly
owned National Forests and Grasslands. Reforestation helps
re-establish forest cover and improve our natural air filter.3 As
trees grow and consume air, they remove harmful pollutants from the
atmosphere.4 One hundred trees can remove 430 pounds of air
pollutants annually.5
National forests are an important part of life for many
homeowners and local communities, providing endless opportunities
to enjoy nature and stay active. The NFF reports that 7 out of 10
Americans live within a 2-hour drive from a National Forest, and
restoration helps improve the quality of recreational activities
for more than 160 million visitors per year.6
"We love that Offerpad values protecting our National Forests
for the future. Because of partners like Offerpad we have planted
over 21 million trees in National Forests across the country," said
Mindy Crowell, Reforestation Partnership Director for the NFF.
In addition to its partnership with the NFF, Offerpad also
announced today that it is partnering with the City of Chandler to
adopt a local park near the Company’s headquarters in Chandler,
Arizona. As part of its sponsorship of the City’s Centennial Park,
local Offerpad employees and their families can volunteer to
participate in monthly clean-up events to help maintain it.
