CHANTILLY, Va.–CORT, the nation’s leading provider of furniture rental and destination services, received the 2023 Super Star Award for Humanitarian Commitment from Altair Global for the company’s exceptional efforts in addressing global challenges and promoting human dignity through impactful programs and practices that benefit marginalized communities.
“We’re deeply honored to receive the Altair Humanitarian Commitment Award, recognizing our unwavering dedication to helping those in need,” said Melissa Arciga, director of global partnerships at CORT. “Our efforts allow us to make a real impact on marginalized communities reinforcing our commitment to humanity and social responsibility, and we’re excited to continue our mission of creating a brighter, more inclusive world for all.”
CORT has proudly collaborated with several impactful organizations to make a difference in the lives of those in need. Since 2012, CORT has partnered with the Folds of Honor Foundation, supporting their mission to provide scholarships and tuition assistance to the families of fallen or severely disabled service members.

Through these partnerships, CORT’s contributions have resulted in:
- FoldsofHonor: $425,000 donated, which is the equivalent of 85 scholarships awarded.
- Entryway: More than $260,000 worth of furnishings and housewares donations benefitting 98 people since 2017.
