In August, we kicked off the 2022 Rocket Companies Community Challenge, our annual crowdfunding campaign driven by Rocket Companies team members, their friends and families. Each year, we ask team members to nominate nonprofits which align closely with their personal values. The selected nonprofits then participate in a fundraising challenge, and the nonprofits that raise the most win additional cash prizes. The goal of the Community Challenge is twofold: our team members have the opportunity to advocate for the causes they care about, while simultaneously raising awareness and funds for these organizations in their social networks. It’s a win-win for the participating nonprofits, many of which are able to raise a lot of money in a short amount of time, while increasing their donor reach.
This year, Rocket Companies team members nominated an unprecedented number of nonprofits, and a record-breaking 180 organizations participated! Together, we raised over $1.3M for nonprofits across the nation. Take a look at the stats, below, and learn more about our impact here. We are excited to see what kind of impact we will make in 2023!
