Building Resilient Communities Together Housing Compass launches August 3. Hear stories from Navigate Gives Back partners. Listen to Housing Compass Building Strong, Resilient Communities Together We provide critical funding to organizations that share our vision of empowering individuals and families in need.

Established in 2017, Navigate Gives Back was initially created to encourage our staff to volunteer and make a positive impact on our communities. From serving meals at the Firehouse Shelter to participating in Paint Day at Washington Elementary School, we believe it’s crucial for our team members to witness the tangible impact of their hard work.

As the world faced the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, we recognized the need to evolve our approach to giving. In response, we found innovative ways to support social service agencies and organizations that share our vision. Navigate Gives Back supports nonprofit partners in Alabama, Connecticut, Mississippi, and Virginia.

IT’S ABOUT PEOPLE AND COMMUNITY In response to the challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic, our Board recognized the urgent need to support local social service agencies to address housing affordability and food insecurity. We believe these agencies are best equipped to meet the needs of families and individuals facing hardship.

To help families find affordable housing and ensure access to nutritious food, the Navigate Board has focused its efforts on supporting agencies with housing affordability and food security projects. Navigate’s efforts extend across four states, allowing us to make a difference in many local communities. We have distributed and will continue to provide millions of dollars in funding to agencies in these regions.

Navigate Gives Back grants provide up to $100,000 per nonprofit organization to address critical needs such as food, shelter, utilities and more. Eligible organizations must be 501(c)3 entities with a proven track record of providing the requested services or products for at least one year. We’re proud to share some of the remarkable milestones and initiatives that have transformed lives and strengthened our communities.
