Who We Are

The REALTOR® Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the MIBOR REALTOR® Association, seeks to mobilize the real estate industry to raise funds and foster support for organizations solving homelessness in central Indiana. Our vision is that everyone in our community has a safe place to call home. Since 2003, more than $3M has been invested in local nonprofits on the front lines of preventing and ending homelessness for Hoosiers in need.

Our Reach

As the philanthropic arm of MIBOR, we have direct access to over 10,000 REALTORS®, real estate professionals, and other industry adjacent organizations throughout central Indiana. Companies who support the Foundation find that they have the opportunity to market directly to Indianapolis' top producers in a way that benefits the community. We hear from many REALTORS® that they prefer to work with and refer their clients to companies who support the REALTOR® Foundation.

Signature Events and Other Opportunities

Each year, the REALTOR® Foundation hosts five signature events, as well as several other fundraisers such as the REALTOR® Week of Service. The Foundation also recognizes corporate donors annually on the Donor Wall in the MIBOR corporate office lobby, social media, website, newsletters, at the events and in the Annual Report.
