Community engagement is one way NC REALTORS® make an EPIC impact in their communities and differentiate themselves. Members have multiple ways to get involved and give back. Through NC REALTORS® 501(c)(3) entities, private foundations, strategic partnerships, and cause marketing campaigns, community engagement is important to us and our members.
One of the greatest impacts NC REALTORS® have on their communities is the coordinate efforts and immediate response to help those affected by natural disasters. Because of the generosity of REALTORS® across the state, together with the REALTOR® Relief Fund, the NC REALTORS® Housing Foundation distributed over $800,000 to 830 families following Hurricane Florence.
The NC REALTORS® charitable housing foundation, NC REALTORS® Housing Foundation, provides affordable housing and disaster relief to deserving families. Founded in 2004, the NC REALTORS® Housing Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charity that provides resources to create, expand and encourage home ownership opportunities for North Carolinians. The foundation promotes awareness of affordable housing issues by educating North Carolinians and their representatives about the barriers to home ownership and the resources needed to increase housing affordability. The NC REALTORS® Housing Foundation also provides emergency disaster relief for victims who have lost their home through a natural disaster. We raise funds from caring donors who want to build stable families and stable communities in our state.
The NC Homeowners Alliance represents the interests of property owners by raising awareness of issues and legislation that affect consumers’ most important investment: their home.
The Alliance stands for common-sense measures that will improve the everyday life of all North Carolinians. In order to boost the North Carolina economy and defend the rights of its citizens, the General Assembly should support legislation that will protect the rights of property owners, encourage homeownership, and keep insurance rates fair and affordable.
