SIGives From the Beginning

The origin of SIGives predates SIG itself. It all started with sandwiches and giant carafes of coffee when co-founders Chris and Liz served breakfast for the unhoused people at their local park in Santa Monica every week. Today, SIGives donates more than $1M and 2,000 volunteer hours annually. Giving has been part of our core values and the way we live, so it was naturally a part of our company values and the way we work.

Culture

Giving Is the Heart of Our Culture

SIGives is one of the first conversations we have with new hires. It’s something we talk about every week in our manager meetings. It’s the epitome of our culture and values. What began as an essential part of our co-founders Chris and Liz Sands’ daily lives has become a quarterly project motivated and self-propelled by our teams in every office — and one of the most frequently cited reasons for wanting to work at SIG.

 

When we started SIGives, corporate giving in our industry was much rarer than it is today. Now it’s pretty commonplace. We love that. If there’s any part of our business that we hope others replicate, it’s giving back to our communities.

Featured Partnership

Special Olympics

We’ve partnered with Special Olympics South Carolina to help serve more than 12,000 athletes with Olympic-style individual and team sports training and competition — cultivating the unique blend of physical fitness, courage, leadership, and joy that only sport offers.  

FEATURED PARTNERSHIP

Habitat for Humanity

Real estate is more than just properties to us — it’s the foundation for creating a legacy. That’s why Habitat for Humanity’s mission resonates so deeply with us. They bring people together to build homes, communities, and hope, creating pathways for families to build long-term financial stability. We’re proud that we’ve been a part of Habitat for Humanity’s impact, building 3,014 new homes, repairing 1,185 homes, and rehabilitating 167 homes across 37 counties in South Carolina.
