As 2024 came to an end, Kidder Mathews disclosed the amount raised in its first holiday giving fund: $81,145. The money went to Habitat for Humanity, Home Team Harvest and Feeding America. CEO Bill Frame said in a statement, “We have organized smaller fundraisers in the past, but we are thrilled to make a bigger difference this year through the foundation.” (That's the Kidder Mathews Foundation.) “It's incredible to see what we can accomplish when we combine our efforts, and we're excited to continue building on this tradition in the years ahead.”

Greystone announced this week that it secured a $33.7 million refinancing package for a quartet of senior housing communities in Oregon. Those beneficiaries weren't specified. The firm's David Young led the effort, and said in a statement, “With recent Medicaid rate increases and capital expenditures completed on the communities, we were seeking to maximize proceeds for this debt request. We sourced a fitting lender after an extensive process working with banks, credit unions and unlevered, A/B tranched, and back-levered debt funds.”
