Searching for the ideal fundraising opportunity? The Caring Tree Foundation provides a means for consumers to make a financial contribution of $250 to their favorite non-profit every time they buy, sell or refinance a home. Best of all, there is no additional cost to the non-profit or consumer to participate in this program.
Not only do your supporters have the satisfaction of making a donation they may not have otherwise afforded, they also receive greatly discounted mortgage and title services in the process. The average homeowner saves over $3,000 on a new mortgage! Your supporters can also earn an additional 20% rebate on the real estate commission by choosing an approved Caring Tree Foundation Best Match agent as their buyer representative. If they buy and sell a home with a Best Match agent, the rebate earned increases to 30%! Add it all up and that's a total savings of $5,700 on the average home! *
The Caring Tree Foundation provides a new and innovative alternative to traditional fundraising programs. By enrolling in the Caring Tree Foundation, your organization can effectively expand your fundraising efforts without incurring any additional costs.** With interest rates near all-time lows and housing affordability improving, now is the perfect time to enhance your fundraising efforts with this cost-free program.
* Approved Caring Tree Foundation real estate agents earn a commission from the seller. This commission is traditionally set at 3% of the home price, but may vary due to market conditions. The Best Match real estate agent acting on behalf of the home buyer will retain 70% of this commission with the remaining 20% rebated to the buyer in the form of a credit at closing. The rebate earned increases to 30% when a supporter buys and sells a home through a Caring Tree Foundation Best Match agent. This credit will be applied to transfer taxes, recording fees or to any discount points charged to further reduce the interest rate paid by the borrower. Savings quoted above based on a sales price of $300,000. Actual savings may vary. Consult an approved Caring Tree Foundation service provider for complete program details. Rebate applies to commission generated on new home purchase only. Other restrictions and conditions may apply.
** This program is available to qualifying 501 (c) (3) organizations only.
