When disaster strikes, REALTORS® step up, whether that’s to deliver food, water, or other vital assistance or to donate money to those in need. That’s where the REALTORS® Relief Foundation comes in. Since its inception in 2001, the RRF has raised more than $25 million to provide mortgage and rental assistance to victims of more than 50 disasters, including wildfires, floods, hurricanes, and tornadoes. RRF is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, with administrative costs covered by the National Association of REALTORS®. That means 100 percent of all donations go directly to victims of disaster.

NAR is calling on the REALTOR® family to donate funds to the foundation to support storm victims in Texas. Join in this effort with your personal donation to the REALTORS® Relief Foundation. You can do so in less than one minute using your credit card on this secure online form. Or send a check payable to RRF to REALTORS® Relief Foundation, 430 N. Michigan Ave., Chicago, IL 60611. Write "RRF Contribution" in the memo line.

Please send your donation today so your contribution can reach people who need it now. Our efforts both reflect and depend on the generosity of REALTORS®. Together, let’s continue to make a difference.
