The Compassion Project: Giving Back to the Community We Love
At the Dave Friedman Team, we believe that success isn’t just measured in homes sold but in the positive impact we make in the community. That’s why we created The Compassion Project—a heartfelt initiative where a portion of our revenue goes directly into helping those in need. This nonprofit effort allows us to give back to the community that has supported us, ensuring that we make a real difference in people’s lives.
How The Compassion Project Works
Through our work with home buyers and sellers, we set aside a percentage of our earnings to fund The Compassion Project. This fund is dedicated to helping individuals and families facing urgent challenges—whether they’re past clients, friends, or members of our extended community.
We understand that life can take unexpected turns, and sometimes people need a helping hand. That’s why we accept nominations at davecares.org. If you know someone in need, we encourage you to submit a request, and our team will carefully review each case to determine how we can best help.
Making an Impact: Real Stories of Change
Our commitment to giving back has touched countless lives in Charleston and beyond. Here are just a few examples of how The Compassion Project has made a difference:
- Providing Safety Through Smoke Detectors – We donated and installed thousands of smoke detectors in homes that lacked them. In two separate incidents, families were able to safely escape house fires thanks to these life-saving devices.
- Emergency Home Repairs – After severe storms and hurricanes, many homes in our community were left in disrepair. We funded critical roof replacements for families who had no means of making the repairs themselves, restoring both their homes and their sense of security.
- Helping Homeless Families – One of our most touching projects involved a mother and her children who had recently moved into an empty apartment. With no furniture to make it feel like home, they were struggling. While they visited family for a week, we fully furnished their home, transforming their space into a warm and welcoming environment.
- International Outreach – While Charleston remains our focus, we also extend our support to communities in need worldwide. When hurricanes devastated parts of the Philippines, we sent aid to affected families. Recently, we provided essential supplies—including food, water, diapers, and construction materials—to struggling communities in North Carolina.

Our mission thrives on community involvement. If you know someone facing a crisis, please visit davecares.org to submit a request. While we can’t fulfill every need, we carefully evaluate each request to prioritize the most urgent cases.

A Business with a Purpose
At the heart of everything we do is a commitment to service—not just in real estate, but in making our community stronger, safer, and more connected. The Compassion Project is a reflection of that mission. Together, we can continue to uplift those in need and create lasting positive change.
