COMMUNITY IMPACT

Building Better Communities Together
Supporting local organizations, creating meaningful connections, and making a positive impact beyond the communities we manage

At Westward360, we believe strong communities start with giving back. Through our W360 Community initiative, we proudly support charities and nonprofit organizations focused on housing, wellness, education, community development, and helping families across Chicago and beyond.

Our Mission Statement

Empower our team to provide hope, opportunity and support for those in need.

Featured Partnerships

Paws Logo

At Westward360, we proudly support PAWS Chicago because we believe every animal deserves a safe, loving home and compassionate care. As one of our favorite charities, PAWS reflects our commitment to giving back to the community and supporting causes that make a meaningful difference.

Home for a Home logo

At Westward360, we proudly partner with Home For A Home because we believe a safe, stable home has the power to transform lives. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Home For A Home turns everyday real estate transactions into new homes for families in need in Guatemala — for every closing our team supports through the program, a portion of proceeds goes directly toward building a home for a family that doesn’t have one. Partnering with Home For A Home reflects our commitment to giving back to communities near and far.
