Why We Give Back

Real estate is more than transactions; it’s about people, families, and communities. That’s why supporting local and global charities is at the heart of what I do. 

Every home sold is an opportunity to give back and help those in need.

WIRTH HATS

RADICAL SELF-WORTH THROUGH QUALITY HATS, FUNDED THERAPY, & SHARED STORIES.

Wirth Hats is a social venture dedicated to promoting mental health awareness and support. Founded in memory of Jakob Wirth, who tragically died by suicide in 2014, the company aims to honor his dream of creating a hat brand that stands for more than just fashion. For every hat sold, $10 is allocated to funding therapy sessions for individuals who cannot afford mental health services. 

In 2023, the Wirth Foundation was established as a registered charity to expand access to mental health services. The foundation’s mission is to remove barriers that prevent people from accessing counseling, with a focus on affordability. Through the sale of Wirth hats, hosting events, and donations, the foundation provides free counseling sessions to those in need. To date, the Wirth Foundation has sponsored over 6,500 counseling sessions, with a goal of reaching 10,000 sessions in the near future. 

By supporting Wirth Hats or donating directly to the Wirth Foundation, you contribute to providing essential mental health support to individuals who might otherwise lack access to these services.
