REALTORS® Community Foundation — I Care
Posted by Craig Pilgrim on 2 November 2008
The REALTORS® Community Foundation provides support to those in need in our city by working with charities involved in shelter, homelessness, hunger, crime prevention, and special projects.
In 2007 the REALTORS® Community Foundation granted over $244,000 to charities in and around Edmonton. Since 1986 the REALTORS® Community Foundation has returned over $1.6 million dollars to the Greater Edmonton Community.
One of the funding streams upon which the REALTORS® Community Foundation relies is the ‘We Care’ program. The program provides an opportunity for REALTORS® within Edmonton and the Edmonton area to donate a portion of their commissions to the REALTORS® Community Foundation on a per transaction basis.
It is but one of the ways we as REALTORS® can give back to our communities and the money donated forms part of the Funding Allocation dollars given out each year by the REALTORS® Community Foundation.
So the next time you’re meeting with your REALTOR®, ask them if they care…
