Providing safety and care to families and individuals in need, the Manitoba Real Estate Association Shelter Foundation distributed $47,712 in grants to shelter organizations in Manitoba in 2014.
The MREA Shelter Foundation was built on the belief that shelter is a human right. Donations are received through volunteer efforts and events including WinnipegRealtors Gimme Shelter, the annual MREA President’s Charity Golf Classic, Instant Wine Cellar and the annual MREA Shelter Foundation Fishing Derby. Realtors also give through the Close a Sale, Open a Door campaign and one-time gifts.
Chair Roger Burns is challenging every broker office and Realtor in Manitoba to join the campaign and donate $10 from every house or property sold throughout 2015.
