We believe in giving back to the places that we live in and love. Through our Sereno 1% For Good Charitable Foundation, we are able to invest in our local non-profit partners who work to create positive change in our communities.

Sereno 1% For Good Charitable Foundation

Sereno is committed to creating a business and a culture that is mindful of our responsibility to our earth and to our community. We are always encouraged to see the good and uphold it. In an effort to support the best of our community, we have pledged to give 1% of our gross commissions to charitable or community-minded groups making a positive difference in the communities we serve.
