Bay East Association of REALTORS® Foundation
The Foundation is a separate corporation from Bay East Association of REALTORS®. It was originally founded to support a scholarship program for students pursuing higher education in the Real Estate field. In the years since its inception, it has grown to be much more.
Scholarship Program
The Scholarship program is open to the dependent children of Bay East Association members, who voluntarily contributed to the Foundation ($30 per year) through their dues billing.
Past President Educational Grant
The grant program is open to Bay East REALTOR® Members, who voluntarily contributed to the Foundation ($30 per year) through their dues billing for three (3) consecutive years.
Members Helping Members
This program raises funds that are distributed directly to Bay East Association REALTOR® or Affiliate members who have experienced a catastrophic event in their lives and may need some financial help. Over the past few years, the Members Helping Members Program has helped members with terminal illness be able to move home to their families; help pay for the funeral arrangements when a loved one of a member died tragically; and helped a member purchase a specially equipped van so that he could be more independent.
Charitable Organizations
Another function of the Foundation is contributions to Charitable Organizations. To apply your organization must be non-profit and based in the Bay East membership area with funds spent locally with administrative expenses not exceeding 25%.
