The Northeast Florida Association of Realtors (NEFAR) Charitable Foundation has made a donation of $100,000 to the National Association of Realtors (NAR) Realtor Relief Foundation at a time when it is most needed.
After having supported relief efforts for 32 disasters across the nation in 2024, the Realtor Relief Foundation (RRF) has started off this year by giving a disaster relief grant of $1 million to the California Association of Realtors, to help families impacted by the devastating wildfires in California. Donations like the one made by the NEFAR Charitable Foundation are crucial to RRF being able to continually answer the call for relief when disaster strikes.
Established in 1987, the NEFAR Charitable Foundation first served as the charitable arm for the Jacksonville Board of Realtors. Since then, the Jacksonville Board of Realtors merged with other local associations to become NEFAR, now including all of Duval, Clay and Putnam counties as well as areas of St. John’s County.
Through the efforts of the NEFAR Charitable Foundation, NEFAR Realtors provide collective and individual good works throughout the region by raising funds and doing volunteer work for local nonprofits and fellow Realtors in times of need.
The reach does not stop in these counties, or even statewide, however. Since its inception, the Charitable Foundation has been an ardent supporter of the Realtor Relief Foundation. NEFAR has donated a cumulative total of $800,000 between RRF and the Florida Realtors Disaster Relief Fund in the last five years, with the most notable donation being $250,000 in 2021 for RRF’s 20th anniversary.
