Education Foundation: Founded in 2009, the Florida Realtors Education Foundation Inc. has provided scholarships totally almost $2 million to over 1,000 students pursuing undergraduate and graduate degrees. In 2021, the Foundation began accepting outside donations. CLICK HERE TO DONATE

Homeownership for All: Since 2006, more than $1.6 million has been raised through the sale of Florida Realtors "Support Homeownership for All" specialty license plates, which help fund affordable housing programs across Florida. The goal is to provide housing assistance to teachers, nurses and others unable to afford a home. In 2021, the fund began accepting donations in addition to license-plate purchases. Ninety percent of the proceeds from the sale of the “Support Homeownership for All” license plate goes to support affordable housing programs. CLICK HERE TO DONATE
