How a little-known real estate charity became a lifeline for disaster survivors across America

The REALTORS Relief Foundation is the charitable arm of the National Association of REALTORS, created to provide direct financial assistance to families recovering from natural disasters. When communities are impacted by events like wildfires, hurricanes, flooding, or other emergencies, the foundation steps in to help with immediate housing-related needs such as mortgage relief, rental assistance, or temporary lodging costs while families work to rebuild.

What makes this foundation especially meaningful is that 100 percent of every dollar donated goes directly to disaster relief efforts, because administrative costs are covered separately by the National Association of REALTORS.
