Calgary Real Estate Board Charitable Foundation
The Calgary Real Estate Board Charitable Foundation is a registered Canadian nonprofit organization dedicated to enhancing the lives of individuals in Calgary and surrounding areas. Established in 1987, it has contributed significantly to charitable and philanthropic activities, focusing particularly on shelter-related initiatives.
Mission
The foundation's mission encompasses promoting the charitable endeavors of its members while providing financial support to shelter-related projects. It aims to create positive impacts in the community by addressing housing needs.
Contributions
Since its inception, the foundation has donated more than $3.5 million to various charities and non-profit organizations. Notably, it partnered with the City of Calgary and the Governments of Alberta and Canada to contribute $1.5 million to the Crestwood Affordable Housing Development in the Millican-Ogden community. This project resulted in a 60-unit apartment complex, providing housing for low-income families and individuals with physical disabilities.
Grant Programs and Initiatives
While the Calgary Real Estate Board Charitable Foundation does not directly operate grant programs under its own name, it collaborates with the CREB REALTOR Community Foundation, which offers several grant programs designed to address housing needs:
- Legacy Grants: These grants are the largest and most substantial investments, aimed at creating new housing options.
- Community Grants: These grants focus on funding major repairs or renovations to existing housing and shelters, keeping people housed.
- Transformation Grants: These grants support minor renovation projects to improve housing quality for vulnerable populations.
Impact
The foundation's efforts have been crucial in transforming communities and supporting those in need. Through its contributions and collaborations, it continues to play a vital role in social responsibility, enhancing the quality of life for many in Calgary and surrounding areas.
