Charitable Foundation
What is The Mobile REALTORS® Charitable Foundation?
The Mobile REALTORS® Charitable Foundation (MRCF) is a 501 (c) 3 tax-deductible organization established by the Mobile Area Association of REALTORS® in 2010. MRCF was formed as an ongoing effort to enable the Association to improve the quality of life for all Mobilians and to help bring awareness of the many charitable actions of local REALTORS® in the Mobile Community.
Who can give to The Mobile REALTORS® Charitable Foundation?
YOU CAN! Anyone, whether they are a REALTOR® or not, can make a tax-deductible gift through a monetary contribution, a contribution of real property, or a contribution of stocks and/or bonds to the Foundation. Another consideration is making a planned gift from an estate to be given to the Foundation upon the death of the contributor.
Other than donating strictly for tax deductible purposes, what other ways could you consider making a gift to the Mobile REALTORS® Charitable Foundation?
You could donate to the Foundation to celebrate a friend, an agent in your office, or a family member or agent’s birthday, to honor someone in your office for an achievement or milestone to celebrate a successful transaction, or to consider making a memorial gift upon the death of a REALTOR®, a co-worker, or family member. You could also consider making a tax-deductible gift for end of year tax planning purposes.
Did you know that the Mobile Area Association of REALTORS® makes a monetary gift to the Mobile REALTORS® Charitable Foundation at each membership meeting in the name of that meeting’s speaker?
A contribution is made to honor and thank each of the speakers of these meetings.
Besides tax-deductible gifts of individuals, how has the Mobile REALTORS® Charitable Foundation been funded?
The Mobile Area Association of REALTORS® and its subsidiary, Gulf Coast Multiple Listing Service, have been generous monetary supporters of this endeavor. Corporate and personal REALTOR® donations to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the Mobile Area Association of REALTORS® helped greatly fund the Foundation.
What has the Mobile REALTORS® Charitable Foundation done with these tax-deductible gifts?
The Mobile REALTORS® Charitable Foundation has been engaged over the past few years in growing the principal balance of the Foundation to preserve its ability to contribute to and serve our community. In 2017, the Foundation made its 1st community gift with a large donation of sports equipment, puzzles, games, ping pong tables, bumper pool tables, jump ropes, balls, and entertainment systems to the City of Mobile Parks and Recreation Department to be distributed to Mobile Recreation Centers to keep young people occupied, active and safe during the summer months and throughout the year.
