About the REALTOR® Foundation
The REALTOR® Foundation is the charitable arm of the MIBOR REALTOR® Association. Since 2003, the Foundation has invested more than $3 million in organizations directly serving those experiencing homelessness in central Indiana, fundraised entirely from the local real estate community.
Our Mission & Vision
The REALTOR® Foundation supports local nonprofits solving homelessness.
The Foundation focuses on funding housing needs and supportive services for central Indiana residents who are experiencing homelessness. This may be as a result of, but not limited to, domestic violence, mental and physical barriers, addiction, income loss, or any other life circumstance resulting in vulnerability and instability of housing.
The Foundation offers additional funding for professional development that will help your staff better meet your organizational goals. Grants from the Steve Sullivan Professional Development Fund will provide the leaders and staff of our grant recipients with the opportunity to participate in training in areas such as grant writing, program evaluation, board development, strategic planning, leadership training, and trauma-informed care.
If your organization wishes to apply for professional development funds, simply fill out the required questionnaire at the end of the grant application. All grant seekers are encouraged to apply.
