To determine each year’s total, Realtors and real estate offices disclose information about their charitable donations to the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV).

The REBGV’s 13,000 Realtor members have collectively donated or fundraised more than $41 million for various charitable causes over the past nine years.

"This program underscores the time and money Realtors across our region contribute each year to help build, strengthen and give back to the communities where they work and live," Dan Morrison, REBGV president said.

REALTORS Care® is the charitable program under which Realtors give back to their communities. Each year, REALTORS Care® initiatives raise funds and collect donations for a wide range of local groups and institutions.
