A Culture Like None Other
We believe that our power is in our people and that the idea of healthy communities starts within our walls.
We actively create a culture of inclusion and belonging through our values of trust, caring, respect and service, and we do business in a way that values people and relationships over transactions.
Culture: The shared set of values, attitudes and behaviors that define and shape an organization.
At Cinnaire, It’s All About the People—a philosophy that defines our award-winning culture. Guided by The Platinum Rule—treating others as they would want to be treated—we foster an environment where independent thinkers thrive, united by shared values and a passion for making a difference. We equip our team with the tools, resources, and support to lead with purpose, ensuring they feel supported and inspired. As a result, our partners, investors, and communities experience that same sense of value and empowerment. At Cinnaire, our culture isn’t just something we talk about—it’s something we live every day.
We invest in people and places to transform lives through capital investments and development solutions
Involved in Our Communities
At Cinnaire, we care — and that commitment is reflected in our actions. Our team is deeply engaged in the communities where we live and work, giving back through involvement and service. Whether utilizing Cinnaire’s paid Volunteer Time Off benefit or dedicating personal time, our staff actively participates in initiatives that create meaningful impact. This hands-on involvement is a core value we bring to our investors, developers and nonprofit partners reinforcing our dedication to enhancing opportunities for residents. At Cinnaire, volunteerism isn’t just encouraged — it’s part of who we are.
Staff Empowerment
The Staff Engagement Committee at Cinnaire is dedicated to fostering a supportive and engaging workplace culture. This dynamic group actively gathers feedback from employees at all levels, ensuring their voices shape initiatives that enhance both personal and professional growth. The committee introduces innovative programs, technology, and training opportunities, including organizational training sessions, Lunch & Learns, career path coaching, and participation in industry conferences and webinars. A standout initiative is our Art of Leadership Academy (ALA)—a program designed to help individuals identify and develop key leadership skills. Through these efforts, the Staff Engagement Committee plays a vital role in empowering our team members and strengthening our workplace community.
Cinnaire Cares
Cinnaire Cares is a 100% employee-driven initiative inspired by our team members to give back to our communities. Through both financial contributions and hands-on service activities, our staff actively supports mission-driven organizations making a difference. Twice a year, employees nominate organizations across our footprint, with selected organizations receiving funding to further their impactful work. Since its launch in 2017, Cinnaire Cares has raised more than $214,000, directly benefiting 51 organizations. More than half of our team participates in giving each month, and Cinnaire matches every dollar raised, doubling our collective impact. Through this initiative, we are strengthening communities and fostering our culture of giving.
