Helping Women And Children Escape Violence
And Rebuild Their Lives
Because we are committed to strengthening the communities where we live and work, Royal LePage is the only Canadian real estate company with its own charitable foundation. The Royal LePage Shelter Foundation is Canada’s largest public foundation dedicated exclusively to funding women's shelters and violence prevention programs.
Every dollar raised goes directly to helping the more than 30,000 women and children who are served each year by the shelters and support programs we fund. Every dollar raised goes directly to helping the more than 30,000 women and children who are served each year by the shelters and support programs we fund. Since 1998, the Shelter Foundation has raised more than $14 million and currently supports 200 local women’s shelter national partners. Our agents donate a portion of their commissions and Royal LePage offices across Canada hold local fundraising events. Our brokers, agents and staff also volunteer and provide in-kind goods to benefit the women and children residing in their local shelters.
"Through many local realtors involved with Royal LePage and its Shelter Foundation, Halton Women’s Place has received thousands and thousands of dollars that directly assist women and their children fleeing abusive homes. Through this great initiative as well, they have helped us to raise more awareness about the issue of woman abuse." - Carm Bozzo, Development Manager -Halton Women's Place
