MADISON,
Wis., July 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Fairway
Independent Mortgage Corporation, named #1 for customer
satisfaction among mortgage origination companies in the J.D. Power
2023 U.S. Mortgage Origination Satisfaction Study, announced today
that two of its non-profit organizations have set new levels of
impact and outreach this year.
The American Warrior Initiative, known as AWI, brings
awareness to the challenges facing the men and women who have
served in the military, police forces, fire departments, and other
front-line organizations. As part of that effort, AWI funds
Service Dogs and their training for military veterans or first
responders in need. Yesterday in Wisconsin, AWI
gave four Service Dogs to 2 individuals in law enforcement, 1
paramedic for the local fire department, and one Vietnam Veteran
bringing the total number of Service Dogs funded
to 368
"Yesterday's event showed how AWI finds and fills the needs of
deserving veterans and first responders, and what better way to
highlight that the week of July
4th?" said Louise
Thaxton, the CEO of AWI. "But we also strive to bridge
the military-civilian divide by educating real estate professionals
on how to best serve veterans with products such as VA loans when
they're looking to buy homes."
In that effort, AWI has trained more than 38,000 real estate
professionals how to effectively work with veterans. AWI also
attracts top VA loan officers to Fairway who find working for a
lender with such meaningful backing of veterans appealing.
"And it's not just L.O.s," remarked AWI CEO Thaxton. "I hear
it at most events – real estate agents ask me how they can send
business to Fairway – they want to work with a company as
passionate about veterans as they are." Fairway also recently
launched American Frontline Rewards, a program that offers credits
toward loan closing costs for veterans and other first
responders.
AWI's total monetary outlay for the Service Dogs, financial
grants, and its other initiatives totals more than $8 million, and every dollar donated to AWI goes
directly to support the recipients as Fairway covers the cost of
operating the non-profit.
Fairway's other public non-profit is Fairway Cares which is
designed to help individuals and families battling critical
illness, physical trauma, or loss of a loved one in the form of
custom care packages and financial grants. So far in 2024,
Fairway Cares has distributed 1,027 care packages and 111 financial
grants, and over the lifetime of Fairway Cares, 12,241 care
packages have been delivered and 1,957 financial grants have been
released.
