Giving Back
In October of 2024, we awarded another $42,400, bringing our total investment toward housing assistance in Lawrence and Douglas County to over $271,000, since 2018.
100% of the contributions to the Lawrence REALTORS® Community Foundation are invested in programs in Lawrence & Douglas County for programs that help to stabilize housing and households that are in jeopardy and need a little help.
The Lawrence Board of REALTORS® pays all expenses and overhead so that all event proceeds go to work in our community.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
