Why Jon gives:

It always feels like there isn't enough money for the stuff me and my family want to do. We are surrounded by people who seem to have more than us. But we try to remember that we keep comparing ourselves to the wrong people. In Canada minimum wage puts you close to the top 1% globally. That seems insane but that's what the numbers are. And I'm not making minimum wage, I admit. Being confronted with these numbers have persuaded me, have persuaded our family, that it's a moral imperative to give a good chunk away in times of plenty. Most real estate agents focus on giving locally and I applaud that. Our communities have many eminently deserving causes and programs and how could we not wish to see our own cities and towns made better? But my wife and I have actually put our focus on directing funds to where they can make the biggest difference around the world, and that is always in developing countries at this point in time. We don't want any child to die of malaria for want of a $5 bed net and we don't want any person to live without the power of sight for lack of a $100 surgery. We feel very blessed to be able to direct dollars to the charities doing the important and necessary work of improving the lives of the world's least fortunate.Why Jim gives:
Giving back to our community is incredibly important. I am proud to help support women and children's shelters who have suffered from domestic violence and trauma. Every effort made will have an impact on our community. Giving back to our community is incredibly important.

I am an advocate for the Alzheimer’s Society. I donate back to the Community from each sale we finalize. I set aside $200 from each home I sell and at the end of the year I distribute what I have collected back to charities that are important to me. My mom and mother in-law have both recently passed away from dementia, so the Alzheimer Society is top of my list. Having recently lost my two pups in the last 2 years and knowing that so many are homeless puts the Humane Society on my list. I also contribute to The MB Realtors Shelter Foundation, The Winnipeg Foundation, MB Harvest, Agape Table and Manitoba Animal Alliance.Why Amber gives:

As realtors we have the opportunity to build successful businesses that rely on the community and support of those around us. I have always believed that as my business continues to grow and succeed, that giving back to those who need it most is one way to show my extreme appreciation and gratitude for the support I have received. There are so many worthy causes out there (this long list shows that!) but I have a personal connection to a few close to my heart. My last career before becoming a Realtor was with Habitat for Humanity, and I was able to experience firsthand the unbelievable change that having a home and roots in a community has on families. I support Habitat still through a 250km cycle ride every September in Lake of the Woods area! Secondly, I was on the board of the Green Action Centre for many years helping them achieve their goals of grass roots eco-education, eco-friendly awareness, community events, compost initiatives, active transportation and more. Being "Green" is something that has always been a part of who I am, and the choices I make. GAC is a wonderful organization of hard-working green enthusiasts that deserve support. Lastly, I am the Past Chair of The Manitoba Realtors Shelter Foundation and have been on their board for 9 years now, and was on the Gimme Shelter board (and past Chair) prior to this position. Our work at the Shelter Foundation is far reaching into vulnerable communities in Manitoba. It's always so eye-opening meeting the staff and volunteers from the organizations we're able to support and the incredible heart and soul everyone puts into their positions helping homelessness, immigrants, elderly, women, children, vulnerable, and more. I thank each and every one of my clients for supporting me, so that we together are able to support these amazing, deserving, life changing organizations. Thanks for reading!Why Rick gives:

I may need that help someday. People are in need and so are animals. I try to do my best to help with donations and my time. I would always want people to know that if they need help they can reach out to me. I’ll do my best and if we need more help I’ll seek that as well.Why Susan gives:

Giving back to the community has always been a core value for me, both personally and professionally. Through my work in real estate, I’ve seen firsthand how having a safe and stable home can change lives. That’s why I am deeply committed to supporting various community organizations and, in particular, the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation. This foundation provides crucial support to women and children escaping domestic violence, giving them a safe place to heal and rebuild their lives. Knowing that our contributions help provide shelter, resources, and a fresh start for those in need is incredibly meaningful. As part of a brokerage that has been a top 5% donor nationally for several years, I take great pride in being part of a team that prioritizes giving back. Every home we help buy or sell is an opportunity to contribute to something bigger—helping to create safer communities and brighter futures. Real estate is about more than just houses; it’s about people, families, and the sense of security that a home provides. Supporting this cause is not just a responsibility; it’s a privilege and a commitment to making a lasting impact.Why Erin gives:

We live here, work here, raise our families here—and love it here. That’s why we make it our mission to give back. We care about our neighbourhoods, it’s the relationships we build with our community members that make our work worthwhile. As professionals who work closely with local residents, we consider it our responsibility and privilege to support causes that give back to the communities we love, and the people who make them great. Through fundraising treks in various locations (including the Sahara Desert, Purcell Mountains, and Mt. Cotopaxi), our annual charity golf tournament, and a fun community initiative called Flock 4 Hope our team has raised $162,194+ for Royal LePage Shelter Foundation and Guelph-Wellington Women in Crisis. This significant contribution will make a positive difference in the lives of brave women and children in the community who seek refuge and aspire to live a life free from abuse.Why Kim gives:

I am a strong believer of "to whom much has been given, much is expected". I have been extremely fortunate in my life and have had a pull since a young age to help and support others with my time and financial contribution. I have had strong advocates in my life to bolster me and to speak up on my behalf if needed. I have always felt supported and recognize this for the huge gift that it is. Because of this, I feel compelled to help and I tend to align with charities that support individuals who don't have their own voice to advocate for themselves, or who feel alone. Most of the charities that I contribute to with my time and financial resources are those that support children, animals and individuals struggling with mental health. I have always been taught that it doesn't take much to create a change in someone's life...sometimes something as simple as smile to a stranger. I am grateful for my opportunities to contribute. #bettertogetherWhy Shayne gives:

The education I received from the Shelter Foundation made all the difference in such little time. They gave me the practical, daily tools to take control of my life and finally move beyond what happened to me and my kids, Thank you Shelter Foundation"Why Jason gives:

This is a fund that supports realtors when disaster strikes, in the form of illness or natural or some other form of life altering event. We have been doing well for the past few years so giving is important to help those that aren't doing really well. My team and I really care about ensuring people are being cared for. This is how we have been able to help recently. Thanks for reading :) - Ben SweetWhy Simone gives:

There are so many reasons and causes to get behind and support. Two of the main organizations my family and I choose to support: Through the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation, we support local shelters that are there for women and children fleeing violence, know 100% of the funds raised go directly to the shelter. Everyone has the right to a safe home. Breaking the chain of violence will only build a stronger community and a stronger future for the next generation. Mental health is something that impacts us all and our family is no exception. Losing someone in your family due to a struggle with mental health is something we want others to avoid experiencing. The annual walk and talk for mental health raises funds to support much needed and underfunded services on our community so that people can get the professional support when they may not be able to afford it. We also encourage everyone to check in with people you know and yourself. Have a conversation about mental health and creat a comfortable environment/relationship to be open and honest about it.Why Lindsay gives:

He started the local golf tournament that became instrumental for their fundraising efforts. I watched him donate a $50 bill to every salvation army kettle in the malls at Christmas time and speak to each volunteer thanking them for their hours served. He was my role model and what I have seen with my families involvement with our youth and homelessness I knew I had to step up. I love giving back and started a volunteer committee called L.O.V.E (London Ontario Volunteer Experts) but also try to financially give when I can. I do a lot of fundraisers and volunteer work while donating a portion of my commission to our local womans shelter. I am in the top 1% nationally for donating to our Royal LePage Shelter foundation and I also donate to other big causes near and dear to my heart by either sponsoring or donating directly.Other Giving Agents

As I was going through radiation in June of 2020, there was a day when I was feeling pretty rough, and very sorry for myself. I looked up as I heard the noise of a hospital bed coming down the hall. On that bed I saw an amazingly heroic person. He couldn't have been more than 4 or 5 years old. I may never know his name and I don't know what he was battling. It was obvious it was a pretty big fight though and as I watched him roll by for his treatment, with his Mom walking behind with a bag full of books and toys to keep him happy, I immediately broke down and started to cry. Not some little tear down the cheek, quiet kind of cry...it was the all out bouncing shoulders, chest heaving sobs, nose running, can't stop it if I even wanted to kind of cry. I have always been a CHEO supporter, donating a portion of my income for 23 years through the Miracle Home Program as a RE/MAX REALTOR®, as well as being what I call a "Couch potato Giver" - happily supporting anyone that is fundraising for the hospital. But this hit me differently and has become my "Why". I can understand fighting a disease as an adult, in a life half lived already...but every fibre of my being was overtaken by a feeling of how inherently wrong it is for ANY child to have to fight anything. I realized CHEO had been there for all the scrapes, minor surgeries and everything in between. Not only for me, but for my kids and grandkids. I had spent years taking them for granted. Seeing a 4 year old roll through the Ottawa General Campus radiation section because obviously CHEO was overrun that day broke. my. heart. Something changed in me that day and I have spent the last 2 years preparing to become the "Doer" that I hope to remain. In my own small way, I want to support all the incredible staff at CHEO, as well as all the amazing kids, AND their parents,that are fighting every single day.Why Ryan gives:

Recently, my personal charity of choice has been Habitat for Humanity in Southern Alberta. This is a non-profit organization that brings the community together to help local families build strength, stability and independence through affordable home ownership. Families purchase their homes with no down payment and no interest, and mortgage payments never exceed more than 25 percent of each family’s total household income. Since 1990, Habitat has partnered with more than 300 families across southern Alberta, affecting the lives of nearly 900 children. I've seen families thrive with affordable home ownership, and am proud of my involvement.Why Marion gives:

With over 35 years of active community service and being heavily involved with charitable organizations I know all too well the challenges that charities face when it comes to funding. There are numerous organizations in our community that provide valuable and essential services and support to area residents. Without the funds needed to carry out their programs far too many people would loose. I'm fortunate to be in a position to give back and believe that to those who much is given much is expected. A portion of each of my commissions is also directed to charity.Let's See How Much Good We Can Do!
