Give Back Program

Since its inception 12 years ago, Corder and Associates’ team members have given back over $100,000 to local non-profits of their choice with our Give Back Program. In response to the support and care we receive from our local community members and businesses, we believe it is our responsibility to give back a portion of our proceeds to non-profits within those communities.

I have watched these two and their team commit their lives to rehoming over 1000 pets a year, helping out in abuse cases and spay and neuter programs. I even got to hold a puppy!
