We Help Our Communities Get to a Better Place - Every Day
At American Equity Mortgage, we believe that it's our job to help people get to a better place - financially, emotionally and even physically. We carry this belief from our business practices into social responsibility and corporate citizenship to help the communities we serve. After all, these communities are not just where we work, but are also where we live and raise our families.
Whether it is a donation or volunteering, we understand the importance of investing in our communities and believe we, as individuals and as a company, can have a profound impact.
At American Equity Mortgage, community outreach is truly a company effort. Our employees feel so strongly about helping others that 98% of our employees personally contribute to AEM Cares, our corporate giving program, to support charitable causes.
