Foundation

Created in 1978, the mission of the Bay East Association of REALTORS® Foundation is to provide financial support for education and charitable needs within our community.

Foundation Goals

  1. Support Bay East members in need (Members Helping Members Program™).
  2. Offer community scholarships and grants to Alameda County students who pursue higher education degrees related to real estate.
  3. Support community-realted charitable organizations and local schools.

The Bay East Foundation relies upon the generous support of the Bay East members. Without voluntary contributions from our REALTORS® and Affiliate members, the Foundation would cease to exist. We would like you to consider the Bay East Foundation in your annual giving plan. The Foundation is a 501(c)3 Corporation and charitable contributions are tax deductible to the extent allowable by law. To make a contribution, please visit https://bayeastweb.bayeast.org/portal/foundationevent/eventpayment.aspx .
