Since our inception in 1991, we have invested over $23 million in grants to 650 initiatives across Alberta. We help fund a diverse range of initiatives, including – supporting education and research around water-related issues, enhancing industry and homeowner knowledge on energy efficiency and healthy homes, as well as consumer education around renting and condominiums.
Where does the money come from?
The Foundation’s revenue is generated by real estate transactions, both sales and rental, across the province.
Under the Real Estate Act, whenever a consumer deposits money in trust through a real estate broker,
property manager, or commercial broker, the interest that is earned on the deposit is accumulated
and forwarded to the Foundation for reinvestment into Alberta’s communities.
