Lend4Good began with a simple idea and a big heart.

​

Founded in 2015 by OMG’s fearless leader and animal lover, Sarah Engstrom (NMLS #245903), Lend4Good was created as a way to turn home financing into something even more meaningful: a chance to give back to the animals who need us most.

​

As Sarah’s mortgage career blossomed, so did her desire to give generously to local rescue organizations—the ones tirelessly working to heal, shelter, and rehome vulnerable animals. With a lifelong love of pets (we're talking dogs, cats, guinea pigs, birds, rabbits, even lizards!), it was only natural that animals would be at the heart of this mission.

​

But this wasn’t just about giving back—it was about bringing clients into the impact.
That’s how Lend4Good was born: a program that donates to animal rescues on behalf of every OMG client we help into a new home.

​

💚 In our first year, we donated $4,025.
🎉 We threw a party when we hit $50k.
🐶 And today, we've proudly surpassed $80,000 in total donations—and counting!

​

Each year, we’ve increased our giving and expanded our reach, helping more animals get the care, safety, and second chances they deserve. What started with one woman’s dream is now a full-force, team-powered mission that grows with every loan, every client, and every wagging tail we get to help along the way.
