Grant Guidelines
Our Mission: The REALTOR® Foundation supports local nonprofit organizations solving homelessness. We envision a central Indiana where everyone has a safe place to call home.
The Foundation focuses primarily on organizations that are ending homelessness through permanent housing solutions. Their homelessness is often the result of, but not limited to, the following situations: domestic violence, natural disasters, mental or physical illness, addiction, income loss, or other personal tragedies.
We accept grant applications once per year. A Letter of Intent (LOI) is due July 25, 2025. Current year grant recipients do not need to submit a Letter of Intent.
Grant applications for the 2026 grant cycle are due September 12, 2025. Please review the grant timeline below for other important dates.
Applications may only be submitted online. A Letter of Intent is required by July 25, 2025. Current year grant recipients do not need to submit a Letter of Intent. If selected, an invitation to complete the grant application will be sent on or before August 1, 2025. Potential applicants are encouraged to discuss their request with the Foundation in advance of submission. Please contact Julie Randall, Executive Director, at 317-956-5255 or JulieRandall@mibor.com.
