C.A.R. Disaster Relief Fund
C.A.R. established the C.A.R. Disaster Relief Fund in the wake of the
devastating 2003 California wildfires. Grants provided by the fund were
used to help members of the REALTOR® family - REALTORS®, their staff,
and association members and their staff - who incurred substantial
losses due to the wildfires. Today, C.A.R. continues to reach out to those
affected by natural and other disasters by distributing grants of $1,000 to
$10,000 from the fund.
