The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver’s members have a long history of giving.

REALTORS Care® is the charitable program under which REALTORS® give back to their communities. Each year, REALTORS Care® initiatives raise funds and collect donations for a wide range of groups and institutions.

Over the years, REALTORS Care® programs have raised funds for numerous charities, including more than $400,000 for BC Children’s Hospital, $250,000 for Canuck Place, and about $1.5 million for the MS Society.

In fact, since 2007 Greater Vancouver REALTORS® have donated or raised more than $6 million for charity.
                                                   

             

At the same time, our members support charities and causes in the communities where they live and work. Preparing and serving Thanksgiving dinners, and donating to local housing-related charities and schools are some of the activities in which members enthusiastically participate.

REALTORS® have initiated successful programs such as the REALTORS Care® Blanket Drive, REALTORS Care® Shelter Drive, and REALTORS Care® Blood Drive, some of which have been adopted by other real estate boards throughout the province and across Canada.
