REALTORS? Help Families In Need

One of the most rewarding things a REALTOR? can do is to help families find the perfect home.? The REALTORS Care Foundation works on the same goal through our support of shelter related charities in Ontario.? Each year, we help families in need of emergency and permanent housing through our work with charities like Home Ownership Affordability Partnership (HOAP), Habitat for Humanity, Shelters (Cambridge Shelter, A Place called Home, Out of the Cold, Unity Project), Community Living and Hospices.?

The work of the REALTORS Care Foundation is made possible through the generous support of REALTORS? and local Real Estate Boards from across Ontario.? Our supporters contribute to the foundation in many ways:

• Donating money to the Foundation (in lieu of gifts from birthdays, anniversaries and special occasions)
• Arranging a planned gift of life insurance to the Foundation by naming the
• Foundation as the benefactor
• Providing us with fundraising ideas that you are willing to organize
• Attending REALTORS Care Foundation special events
• Helping to direct the Foundation as a member of the Board of Governors

In addition to the satisfaction of contributing to a good cause, when you make a donation to the REALTORS Care Foundation, you can receive tax receipts/credits, and the opportunity to reduce inclusion rates on capital gains or you can benefit a donors estate in the case of deferred gifts.

Monies donated to REALTORS Care Foundation each year, keep on giving; 100% of your donation to the Foundation is added to an Endowment Fund, and only the income from this fund is dedicated to our charities.? The capital funds are invested and continue to produce income for generations to come.
