loanDepot Featured in Orange County Business Journal’s 2024 “Companies That Care” Report

Celebrates the extraordinary contributions of businesses making a difference in the Orange County, Calif. community.

IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- loanDepot, Inc. ("LDI" or "Company") (NYSE: LDI), a leading provider of products and services that power the homeownership journey, was featured in the Orange County Business Journal’s (OCBJ) 2024 “Companies That Care” report, recognizing extraordinary contributions of businesses making a difference in the Orange County, Calif., community.

With a culture deeply rooted in volunteerism and community support, loanDepot earned a place on the list for its ongoing support of non-profit organizations that align with its mission in Orange County, where the company is headquartered.

“At loanDepot, we’re driven by a commitment to helping families achieve their homeownership and financial goals, while fostering a culture of giving back—it’s deeply embedded in our DNA,” said loanDepot Chief Human Resources Officer Melanie Graper. “Whether through donations, volunteerism, advocacy, or partnerships with non-profit organizations, our team is dedicated to making a positive and lasting difference in the lives of our Orange County neighbors and communities across the country—and we’re honored to be recognized among the ‘Companies That Care’ for 2024.”

As part of its presenting sponsorship of Habitat for Humanity’s “Home is the Key” advocacy campaign designed to help unlock equitable homeownership and build inclusive communities, loanDepot employees and executives volunteered in Southern California, helping to construct a multi-family home in Los Angeles along with building playhouses for three families in Orange County. Additionally, Martell uses his influence to advocate for solutions to the critical housing challenges facing communities today, including the importance of equitable access to affordable and sustainable homeownership.

As one of the country's top providers of VA loans, loanDepot is deeply committed to serving the military community. loanDepot Founder and Board Chair Anthony Hsieh created the War Heroes on Water (WHOW) sportfishing tournament in 2018 to serve the needs of combat-wounded veterans, which draws deep Team loanDepot support annually – and has raised more than $7 million to date. The company supports the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation, helping to provide need-based scholarships to the children of active-duty and prior service Marines and Navy Corpsmen—and sponsors “Military Appreciation Day” at the HOAG Classic in Newport Beach.

loanDepot also supports the American Heart Association’s (AHA) Go Red for Women campaign, which funds research and raises awareness of cardiovascular disease and stroke in women, and champions STEM education through a mentorship program for young women. Several other area organizations have special ties to the company’s leadership and employees, including the American Red Cross of Orange County, Operation HOPE and Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County.
