Giving Back to the Community

06.06.2025

At Heartland, we believe in the power of community and the importance of giving back. Earlier this week, members of our team had the opportunity to volunteer alongside colleagues from across the Laird Norton Enterprise at the YMCA of Greater Seattle’s Roy Street Transitional Housing Project.

This Social Impact Center provides stable housing and essential wraparound services to youth aged 18–24. Our team helped clean and refresh the property, contributing to a safe and welcoming environment for residents on their journey toward stability.

We’re grateful for the chance to support such a meaningful cause and to share the experience with our portfolio partners at Laird Norton Company, Laird Norton Wetherby and Laird Norton Family Foundation. It was a rewarding day of service, connection, and learning, and a reminder that we’re stronger when we serve together.
