Corporate Citizenship
As the Washington DC region's largest corporate giver, Freddie Mac, along with the Freddie Mac Foundation has, to date, invested more than $348 million to make a difference in people's lives. However, our corporate citizenship efforts not only include philanthropy, but also a wide variety of community, housing, diversity and volunteerism programs. In addition, we best demonstrate our commitment to being a good corporate citizen by valuing and respecting our employees and creating for them an environment that encourages innovation and rewards success.
