In 2025, Pahlisch Homes transformed a portion of its everyday technology expenses into $21,925.78 in community impact, without increasing spending or changing vendors. By reviewing their use of Sophos, Microsoft and Veeam, existing operational costs were redirected to support local education.
Pahlisch Homes chose to direct this impact to the Bend-La Pine Education Foundation, with a focus on Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs at high schools in Bend and La Pine, Oregon. These programs provide students with hands-on learning and clear career pathways.
