HBR REALTORS® CARE FUND

The REALTORS® Care Fund was established by the Honolulu Board of REALTORS® in 1993 to support programs and initiatives that provide a safety net for housing by:

  1. increasing opportunities for first-time homebuyers
  2. addressing priority issues in our local community related to housing
  3. developing and implementing community revitalization activities that increase the value of neighborhoods and communities.

This fund is seeded by voluntary contributions from individual REALTORS® and HBR members for annual grant-giving and is administered by the Hawaii Community Foundation. To date, our members have helped HBR to donate more than $500,000 in grants to community organizations. Past recipients of REALTORS® Cares Fund grants include Achieve Zero, Catholic Charities Hawaii, Domestic Violence Action Center, Family Promise of Hawaii, Habitat for Humanity Leeward Oahu, Hawaii HomeOwnership Center and HHOC Housing & Land Trust, Hawaii Meals On Wheels, Hawaiian Community Assets, Honolulu Habitat for Humanity, aio Foundation for Kahauili Village, U.S. Vets - Waianae, and the National Association of REALTORS® Housing Relief Fund.
