Greater Vancouver Realtors (GVR) has donated $100,000 to the Canadian Red Cross to help victims impacted by the ongoing British Columbia wildfires.
The donation is the largest charitable contribution in GVR’s history. The donation was made through the organization’s Community Relief Fund, a charitable program launched this year to help people facing housing-related hardship caused by crises, tragedies and natural disasters. The fund can provide up to $300,000 annually and is supported in part by a $1-per-member monthly contribution.
“Thousands of British Columbians are facing the uncertainty and hardship of being displaced from their homes, and our more than 13,000 realtor members want to help,” said Jeff King, CEO of GVR. “Realtors live and work in the communities they serve. When people in those communities face a crisis, we believe we have a responsibility to step forward.”
