Fay Cares!
While others in our industry focus on collecting money—or else—we take a kinder, more humane approach when homeowners fall short, explains CEO Ed Fay. We consider the people behind those mortgages and work hard to give them the best chance possible to stay in their homes.
The Fay-Constructive Foundation was established to fulfill the philanthropic mission of Fay Financial employees to serve the communities in which they live and work. Over 80% of employees across Fay, Constructive, and GenStone affiliate companies make voluntary contributions to the Foundation. Each quarter, their contributions are donated to organizations focused on improving education opportunities, combating poverty, and supporting military service members and first responders.
