About the HOME Foundation |
The Oregon Association of REALTORS® HOME Foundation is a 501(c)3 charity that provides financial resources to create, expand, and encourage home ownership opportunities for Oregonians at or below local median income. It also promotes awareness of affordable housing issues by educating Oregonians and their representatives about the barriers to home ownership and the resources needed to increase housing affordability.
This Oregon REALTORS® charity gives members a way to give back to their communities. Because despite their best efforts, far too many people in today's workforce simply can't afford the American Dream. We understand that homes stabilize families and we want that to be achievable for more Oregonians.
Your contribution to the HOME Foundation will help provide much needed funds to organizations dedicated to the development, maintenance, or repair of affordable housing. It will help educate consumers and real estate professionals and provide the tools they need to make homeownership more attainable. It will address both immediate and long-term needs through strong public/private partnerships. And most importantly, it will give more Oregonians the opportunity to make a lasting investment in local communities.
Fundraising occurs year round with flagship events such as the Driving it HOME Golf Tournament in July and the Taste of Portland in September. And events held in local communities, such as the Rogue Valley Association of REALTORS® Food & Wine Classic in March, raise money that all stays right in their local area.
