Creative Office Resources' 2025 Year of Impact
At Creative Office Resources, giving back is an ongoing commitment shaped by our people and the communities we serve. This year, our impact was driven by deeper partnerships, hands on involvement, and a shared belief in the power of meaningful connection.
Giving back at Creative Office Resources starts with our people. Across offices and teams, employees dedicated their time and energy to causes they care deeply about, supporting organizations that strengthen families, expand access, and build community. These efforts reflect a shared belief that meaningful impact comes from showing up and getting involved.
In 2025, our partnership with Team IMPACT became an even greater focus of our philanthropic efforts. Team IMPACT is a national nonprofit that connects children facing serious illness or disability with college athletic teams, creating long term relationships grounded in inclusion, confidence, and joy.
Throughout the year, COR employees supported Team IMPACT through expanded sponsorship, participation in Signing Day events, and increased hands-on engagement. Spending time with families and student athletes brought the mission to life and reinforced the importance of consistency, connection, and community in creating lasting impact.
Beyond these efforts, COR employees continued to give back in ways that felt personal and purposeful, whether through company initiatives, industry involvement, or independent volunteering. The organizations below represent just some of the causes our team supported throughout the year.
