Realtor.com® and the National Association of REALTORS® announced a joint effort to support and amplify the work of the REALTORS® Relief Foundation as it marks 25 years of providing housing assistance to families impacted by disasters nationwide. Realtor.com® presented a $100,000 contribution to RRF and pledged to help raise awareness and encourage additional donations throughout the foundation's anniversary year.

Why it matters

Homeownership is a powerful driver of generational wealth, but disasters can threaten that stability overnight. This partnership aims to ensure that a temporary crisis doesn't become a permanent setback for families in need of disaster housing assistance.

The details

As part of the joint effort, Realtor.com® will work with RRF throughout its 25th anniversary year to elevate stories of impact, drive industry-wide awareness, and encourage additional support from real estate professionals, the industry and consumers. Realtor.com® will provide a dollar-for-dollar match for all eligible donations through May 31, up to $100,000, in addition to the initial $100,000 contribution.

  • RRF marks its 25th anniversary in 2026.
  • Realtor.com®'s donation and matching commitment will be active through May 31, 2026.
