Our Impact

For nearly 40 years, the REALTORS® Community Foundation has brought REALTORS® and industry partners together as donors and volunteers to amplify our collective impact in the community.

We currently support local charities across the greater Edmonton area that provide safe, accessible housing and foster inclusive communities. Our commitment to local initiatives ensures that the impact of our support is directly felt by those who need it most, fostering stronger, more vibrant communities.
