Owning a home gives a person a compelling reason to care about the community in which they live, and we believe that everyone deserves a place to call home. The REALTORS® Charitable Foundation seeks to create wider access to home-ownership, provide education about the benefits of home-ownership, preserve property and property values, and partner with other agencies and organizations to address our region’s housing-related issues. The REALTORS® Charitable Foundation represents the collective heart of more than 3,000 Rochester and Finger Lakes, and Southern Tier area REALTORS®. Please join us as we work to make our community a great place to call home for everyone.
