The local RRF is possible through a contribution made direct from the Lawrence Board of REALTORS®, and is separate from the funding raised annually by the Lawrence REALTORS® Community Foundation - 100% of Lawrence REALTORS® Community Foundation proceeds are granted to local 501(c)(3) charitable organizations.

LBOR RRF applications are reviewed by the Lawrence REALTORS® Community Foundation Board of Trustees. Every effort is made to review applications in a timely manner. The LBOR RRF reserves the right to approve or deny applications, and for good and sufficient reasons cancel any grant that has been made.

Nationally Helping Those in Need

The National Association of REALTORS® first launched the REALTORS® Relief Foundation (RRF) as the REALTORS® Relief Fund in 2001, within hours of the devastating Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks—raising more than $8.4 million to provide assistance so that surviving family members could stay in their homes. Since then, more than $32 million has been raised for victims of disasters, including wildfires, tornadoes, floods, and hurricanes. Today, RRF exists as a 501(c)(3) organization established to provide housing-related assistance to victims of disasters and for other charitable purposes permitted under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Every dollar goes directly to victims of disaster. The National Association of REALTORS® covers 100% of administrative expenses. Donate Here
