Our Story

In 2022, we began with a simple but powerful goal: to help children battling cancer and support the families who walked beside them. What started as a local effort has grown into a broader movement — one fueled by the heart and generosity of real estate professionals and community partners who want their work to mean more.

Today, our mission has expanded to embrace a larger vision: helping local nonprofits thrive so they can continue transforming lives in our communities. From organizations serving children and families, to those uplifting veterans, rescuing animals, and addressing urgent community needs, we exist to strengthen the helpers who strengthen us all.

We are a community of compassionate Realtors, businesses, and supporters united by a belief that giving back should be part of doing business. Every time one of our partner agents closes a home, a portion of their commission is donated to local nonprofits — providing vital resources, encouragement, and hope to those they serve.

Our network continues to grow, connecting people and purpose in ways that create a ripple effect of good. When you work with a Realtor in our program, you’re not just buying or selling a home — you’re helping sustain the nonprofits that restore dignity, create opportunity, and change lives every day.

A Message From Our Executive Director

Care Foundation Logo
On behalf of our entire team at The CARE Foundation, I want to extend our deepest gratitude to each and every one of you who has supported our mission to strengthen communities by helping local nonprofits thrive. Your compassion, generosity, and belief in what we do continue to inspire us every day.

Because of your support, we’ve been able to provide resources, encouragement, and meaningful opportunities to nonprofits that are working on the frontlines of change — from supporting children and families, to uplifting veterans, rescuing animals, and addressing critical community needs. Whether you’ve made a donation, partnered as a corporate sponsor, or shared our mission with others, you’ve multiplied the impact of countless organizations serving our neighbors.

As a nonprofit rooted in the real estate community, it is especially meaningful to see so many Realtors and local businesses stepping up — giving back a portion of their commissions, offering services, and using their platforms to uplift others. Together, we are showing the world that business and heart can go hand in hand, and that when communities unite around purpose, transformation happens.

Your involvement helps nonprofits do what they do best: provide food, shelter, education, healthcare, and hope. You are helping to sustain the organizations that restore dignity, create opportunity, and change lives every day. For that, we are endlessly grateful.

Thank you for being a vital part of this mission. We are honored to walk alongside you in supporting the nonprofits that make our communities stronger — and we look forward to continuing this work, together.

With gratitude and hope,

Nick Thiele
