Home Foundation Fundraisers
Founded in 2004 by the Oregon Association of REALTORS®, The HOME Foundation is a 501c(3) non-profit organization that provides financial resources to create, expand, and encourage homeownership opportunities for Oregonians who are at or below the local median income. It also promotes awareness of affordable housing issues by educating Oregonians and their representatives of the barriers of homeownership and the resources needed to increase housing affordability.
In the past several years, over $50,000 has gone to Central Oregon housing non-profits from the Home Foundation.
The HOME Foundation gives thousands of dollars annually to non-profit organizations to address homeownership needs, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they’ve have been forced to cancel major fundraisers and in-need organizations are at risk of losing their funding at a time when the need is the greatest.
Central Oregon participants on the 2020 Oregon Leadership Class are hosting two fundraisers:
Stand Up for Homes
