Since its inception in 1987, the Calgary Real Estate Board^® Charitable Foundation has contributed more than $3.5 million to a wide range of charities and non-profit organizations in our community. Made up of a membership of more than 5,300 REALTOR® and community members, the CREB® Charitable Foundation exists to promote the charitable and philanthropic activities of its members as well as to provide funding to shelter-related initiatives in Calgary and area.

From 2005 to 2007, the Foundation, in partnership with the City of Calgary and the Governments of Alberta and Canada, focused on funding a single capital project.  Through donations from Calgary and area REALTORS®, and citizens of Calgary and surrounding communities, the CREB® Charitable Foundation contributed $1.5 million to the building of The Crestwood Affordable Housing Development in the community of Millican–Ogden.  This 60-unit apartment complex now houses low-income families and individuals with physical disabilities.

Every year the CREB® Charitable Foundation receives numerous applications for funding and through a rigorous evaluation procedure by a committee of the Board of Governors, determines how much financial support will be distributed for that year and to whom.  In 2009 over $77,000 was distributed to four charities to fund shelter-related initiatives

Calgary Real Estate Board Charitable Foundation is governed by a 10 member Board of Governors composed of elected REALTOR® members and appointed Community members.
