about us

The RE/MAX Equity Group Foundation is the charitable foundation of RE/MAX Equity Group.

Agents and staff contribute time and resources to The RE/MAX Equity Group Foundation to help local organizations dedicated to meeting the needs of our neighbors.

Local charities are a priority to The RE/MAX Equity Group Foundation, especially those that are smaller, “grass roots” type organizations without national or federal funding. The RE/MAX Equity Group Foundation also prefers to donate to a specific, tangible purpose as opposed to contributing to the general fund of an organization.

Through 2019, we have given more than $1,700,000 back into our communities.
