Giving Back to the Community - A major goal for Uptown Financial Corp.

Uptown Financial Corp. has Made a Committment to Give back to the Minneapolis Community.

The Uptown Minneapolis Minnesota Mortgage Company, Uptown Financial Corp (www.UptownFinancial.com) has made a goal to GIVE BACK via 'whatever means' possible as a step towards taking leadership in the community within which we live.

Among the current innitiatives Uptown Financial Corp. has been undertaking is the seriousness of the habitat in which we live. We have been partnering with the likes of Energy Star to become a Minnesota and National spokesperson for all the good the organization is working towards.

Uptown Financial Corp., a Minneapolis Mortgage Company, has taken the lead in helping our Residential Network get signed up, educated and approved to lend Green Mortgage including Energy Efficient Mortgages MN (EEM Mortgage) & Energy Improvement Mortgages (EIM Mortgage). The residential network is currently approved to work is association with FHA programs for the states of Minnesota Mortgages, Wisconsin Mortgages, Iowa Mortgages among others. Given the base of the company in Uptown Minneapolis, these states in particular are the focus of the Green Financing via EEM mortgages and EIM mortgages.

In keeping with the 'green' philosophy, Uptown Financial Corp. has also entered into a 'contest' of sorts with the MN Energy Challenge, www.mnenergychallenge.org. If anyone would like to 'join our team' committed to minimizing our 'carbon footprint' please do not hesitate to complete the survey and sign up under our team!!!
