On Friday, January 16, 2015, during its 22nd Annual Kick Off dinner and dance, the Kitchener-Waterloo Association of REALTORS® presented a cheque for $14,000 to Habitat for Humanity Waterloo Region (HFHWR). The donation came as a result of HFHWR’s successful grant application to the Ontario REALTORS Care® Foundation (ORCF).
“The Ontario REALTORS Care® Foundation acts on behalf of Ontario REALTORS® in funding shelter-related charities across the province,” explains Mark Wolle, KWAR President. The KWAR is proud to support the ORCF through the Every REALTOR® Campaign, which helps to ensure investments are made back into our community through local charities.
Since 1999, the Foundation has given more than $2-million in grants to eligible organizations. “We’re proud of the work our Foundation does, and we are pleased to support HFHWR who are building affordable homes for hardworking families by providing a hand up not a hand out,” says Wolle.
