An accomplished home finance professional based in Denver, Colorado, Gavin Ekstrom serves as a senior area manager at Citywide Home Loans. Outside of his professional life, Gavin Ekstrom supports a number of local nonprofit organizations, including the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Denver. Earlier this year, the Boys & Girls Clubs of America announced a partnership with Ross Stores, Inc., to help raise funds for the organization, which provides service to nearly four million youth on an annual basis. The month-long program is called “Help Local Kids Learn,” and Denver-area residents who shopped at Ross stores were given the option of adding a $3 or $15 donation to their purchase at the checkout counter. One hundred percent of the proceeds went to support the organization's local programs. The donation amounts offered were indicative of the types of services the nonprofit provides, with $3 covering the cost of an hour’s worth of homework help for a student, and $15 helping to provide a student a place in a safe after-school shelter.

A Denver-area branch manager with Citywide Home Loans since 2007, Gavin Ekstrom brings over two decades of experience to his clientele throughout northern Colorado. Gavin Ekstrom is also an active member of the Colorado Association of Homebuilders, a professional organization that supports a number of community housing projects sponsored by the Colorado chapter of HomeAid America.
Recognizing the plight of thousands of homeless individuals in the state, the Colorado Association of Homebuilders has partnered with HomeAid Colorado since 1999 to construct and renovate shelters throughout the area. This past April, HomeAid Colorado celebrated the 15th anniversary of its first project, the Discovery Home. The Discovery Home was completed in 2000 as a place of safety and security for youth newly discharged from the foster system, enabling them to develop independent living skills. To commemorate this milestone, HomeAid Colorado dedicated an all-new basement to the Discovery Home. The new addition includes another bedroom and bathroom for residential staff, a gaming and media center, and private rooms for counselling sessions. Since completing the Discovery Home, HomeAid Colorado has completed more than 50 housing projects, which required more than $8.7 million in funding. |
