Social Responsibility
Westcor's shopping centers thrive alongside their local communities. The company and its employees give back through financial support, volunteering and in-kind donations in areas of concern ranging from education to women's health. Westcor partners with many non-profit organizations in Arizona, including Fresh Start Women’s Foundation, Salvation Army, Phoenix Children's Hospital, American Heart Association and YWCA.

In fact, Westcor employees celebrated the company's 40th anniversary year in 2009 with more than 10,000 hours of volunteer time for community endeavors as diverse as the Desert Mission Food Bank and the Fiesta Bowl Parade.  Employees also apply for corporate grant dollars for local organizations through the company's Louise Marquez Awards program.

Contributions and Guidelines
Westcor prioritizes involvement and support for community and charitable organizations, with a preference for programs and partnerships that have a long-term impact on communities where we do business.

However, Westcor does not support individual pursuits and private foundations; religious groups (except for secular activities open to those of all faiths); service clubs, fraternal organizations and sports teams.

The company will not support organizations that discriminate on the basis of race, creed, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion, disability or national origin.

Requests for charitable support are considered throughout the year. Contact Charitable.Givings@Westcor.com
