Antis Roofing Increases Community Involvement With Antis Foundation

IRVINE, CA--(Marketwired - Aug 17, 2016) - Antis Roofing & Waterproofing -- one of Southern California's most trusted names in the roofing and decking industry and a respected leader in community philanthropy efforts -- is pleased to announce its official corporate charity entity, Antis Foundation, founded on the mission to take care of the people of Orange County by keeping a roof over their heads, to create healthy and happy families.

Antis Foundation is set up as a donor advised fund with OneOC, one of the largest and most comprehensive of the 250 volunteer centers nationwide. After having discovered the urgent and important roofing needs in the nonprofit industry in Orange County, it was realized by Antis that a more comprehensive approach was needed to make sure the business and all its charitable partners were being best served. With OneOC's new business membership, Antis is able to do that, as well as create an employee engagement strategy to make sure everyone who works at Antis is happy and having fun too. 

"Antis Roofing & Waterproofing's giving spirit and dedication to do good has been an amazing addition to help OneOC strengthen the Orange County nonprofit community!" says Dan McQuaid, president and CEO of OneOC. "We are thrilled to welcome the Antis team to our group of businesses."

In addition to a local charitable commitment, Antis Foundation recently donated a $50,000 grant to a national roofing industry organization, The Roofing Industry Alliance for Progress, to help advance technology, scholarship and philanthropy in the field -- all components of overarching innovation in the industry that Antis is looking to contribute to. Founder and CEO, Charles Antis, has a big vision for all of their social impact work to create a stronger roofing and construction industry as a whole, while lifting all the communities up that they work within.

"Working in an industry that has such a large avenue to give back to its surrounding community is truly a blessing," says Antis. "Through our work with Habitat for Humanity of Orange County we are inspired to motivate others in our industry to give back, as well as help even more nonprofits that are doing such impactful work."

Antis is best known for its promise to install the roofs of every Habitat for Humanity home in Orange County, and that commitment will continue. Even amongst a multi-year drought in Southern California, Antis remains loyal to all charitable partners and typically gives upwards of $145,000 a year in support of varying causes. In addition to work with Habitat for Humanity, Antis has supported Alzheimer's Orange County, Orange County Ronald McDonald House, the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation, Valiant Women of Mission Hospital, The Scleroderma Foundation, Families Forward, Susan G. Komen, Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and Boys & Girls Club.

"We believe that giving back and lending a hand where we can is our responsibility as corporate citizens. It is the heart and soul of all that we do," says Antis. "It is our great honor and pleasure to partner with non-profits that do so much good throughout our local community."
