Equipment financier AP Equipment Financing participated in Giving Tuesday with donations to 20 local charities. Giving Tuesday is a day when people and organizations alike celebrate generosity inspired by the holiday, and AP has been actively donating to its local communities for over 10 years.

“Giving back to our local communities is embraced by everyone at the company,” said AP CEO Chris Enbom. “We encourage our employees to nominate charities they feel passionate about and connected to. This allows them to participate in making a difference.”

The event is inclusive of all AP offices, including Bend OR, Concord CA and Wenatchee, WA.

Examples of donation recipients are Oregon Natural Desert Association, Deschutes Children’s Foundation and California Fire Foundation.

“Oregon Natural Desert Association works to protect our public lands and restore our most treasured waterways.” says Fleet Executive Jake Hirsh of his donation choice. “Not only do we all currently enjoy Oregon’s high desert, but ONDA is creating a system where our kids and grandchildren will be able to enjoy the same outdoor activities and solitude, we have had the privilege to enjoy. ONDA is helping create an environment where we have more opportunities to do what we love, and their values align with ours at AP Financing.”
