LINTHICUM, MD, October 6, 2020— NFM Lending is proud to be a Sponsor for the 16th annual BARCStoberfest virtual 5k run and one-mile walk and festival on October 23-25, 2020. The event will benefit the Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter (BARCS). This is NFM Lending’s second year sponsoring the event.

BARCS is Maryland’s largest animal shelter and pet adoption center. All proceeds will support the more than 12,000 animals that come through their doors each year that require shelter, food, and medical care. It will also enable them to remain a vital resource to our community through their innovative programs. Funding is more critical than ever, as their fundraising efforts have fallen without the ability to host in-person events due to the COIVD crisis. This event will be completely virtual and will spread out over the course of the weekend, including the 5k run and one-mile walk and costume contest.

“NFM Lending is once again proud to be a sponsor of this year’s BARCStoberfest,” said Gene DiPaula, Vice President of Communications at NFM. “Even though the festival is virtual this year, it sounds like they have a lot of fun activities lined up to raise money for a very worthy cause. Every pet deserves to feel safe and secure and be part of a loving home. The work that BARCS does to make that happen, all the while taking care of those animals while in transition, is admirable and inspiring. We’re excited to partner with BARCS to make that happen.”

LINTHICUM, MD, September 30, 2020 NFM Lending is proud to announce it was named one of the winners of the Best Places to Work 2020 by Baltimore Business Journal.

Every year, Baltimore Business Journal (BBJ) conducts a months-long nomination process and online survey of local companies. The survey was limited to employees in the Greater Baltimore area presently employed by the companies they rated. The BBJ explains the Best Places to Work as a “program [that] measures a wide range of research-validated workplace factors that impact employee engagement and satisfaction.

Only 10 companies per category were named finalists; NFM Lending was the second place winner in the large category.

“NFM is proud to accept this award as one of the top workplaces in the Baltimore region,” said Gene DiPaula, Vice President of Communications. “It’s a reflection of how we all feel about working for such a great company that has made a tremendous effort to keep everyone engaged and connected during these difficult times. Starting with only three employees in a tiny office down on Fleet Street, it really was built from the ground up by the Silverman family, along with our incredible current and former employees. To all of them, we thank you for getting NFM to where we are today.”

NFM Lending prides itself on its exceptional company culture. Their unique culture allows employees to feel more like family than anything else.
