At Southridge, we strongly believe in the principles of Social Responsibility in both formal and informal philanthropy. By promoting volunteer work, community leadership, and giving, we improve ourselves, strengthen our Firm, and have a positive impact on our communities and society at large.

We focus our energy on initiatives that support and strengthen our fellow citizens and enhance the efforts carried out so diligently by non-profit organizations and faith-based charities around the country.

In 1998, Stephen Hicks, CEO and founder of Southridge, and his wife began the Daystar Foundation to support a variety of charitable organizations. As strong proponents of charitable giving within their personal and professional communities, Daystar seeks to affect the lives of people in need directly and to make a difference, committing time and financial resources to the betterment of our society.

The Daystar Foundation, has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years to several different organizations.
