The business of the REALTORS Care Foundation is to contribute to our members’ communities by making a difference in the lives of people and communities where they live and conduct business.
The REALTORS Care Foundation is the legacy of all Ontario REALTORS®.  You have the power to make a difference in someone’s life today.
Join us today by investing in your Foundation.  Here are some considerations.

Make an annual donation to the REALTORS Care Foundation.  By providing a regular contribution you are helping the Foundation to sustain itself, focus on its core mission and reduce the time its needs to spend on fundraising.
Make a monthly donation to the REALTORS Care Foundation.  It allows you to contribute a larger amount as you will be amortizing it over the course of the year.

Purchase a ticket to a fundraising event in support of the REALTORS Care Foundation.  With this approach you can support the Foundation in more ways than one.  In addition to raising funds that flow into the capital fund and annual grants, these kinds of public events are instrumental in the Foundation’s efforts to promote the good works of our REALTOR® members, thereby building a stronger support base with the general public.  In other words, your support will help leverage other support, resulting in greater reach for the Foundation’s efforts.  And you have the added bonus of a good time with friends and family.

Buy a product where proceeds go to support the REALTORS Care Foundation.  Many businesses are engaged in cause-related marketing, through which a portion of their product or service sales goes to support the Foundation’s administrative costs.  This means 100% of every dollar donated by a REALTOR® can be invested to earn interest which results in grant dollars being available for supporting shelter related charities in our communities.

Donate stock or appreciated securities, real estate property or a lasting legacy through your will to the REALTORS Care Foundation, a relatively new way to give and reduce your taxes at the same time.  For more information please contact the Charities Directorate at Revenue Canada or consult with a financial advisor on this and other giving options such as donations of real estate, cultural property, or to leave a lasting legacy through your will.
