The Canadian Real Estate Association’s (CREA) Active REALTORS Care® Donation Campaigns and Portals:
On behalf of the REALTOR® community, we’re currently raising funds in support of three Canadian Red Cross appeals:
2025 Saskatchewan Wildfires Appeal
2025 Manitoba Wildfires Appeal
2025 Vancouver Lapu-Lapu Festival Appeal
Let’s show those impacted, REALTORS Care®. Make your donation using the links above.
The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) also has REALTORS Care® donation portals open to contributions for these other Canadian Red Cross appeals:
Canadian Disaster Relief Fund: Supports all hazard disaster response and preparedness across Canada, ensuring the Red Cross is ready to help when needed.
International Disaster Relief Fund: Supports the Red Cross’ global mission, enabling rapid response to disasters, big and small, around the world.
Canadian Wildfire Fund: Provides support for communities affected by Canada’s increasingly severe wildfires, helping them recover and rebuild.
We encourage REALTORS® and your networks to consider donating to help the Canadian Red Cross address preparedness, immediate relief, and long-term recovery where and when it’s needed most.
REALTORS® Supporting Communities through Disaster Relief Campaigns
The REALTOR® community has demonstrated their willingness to come together and raise funds for those impacted by large-scale disasters, time and time again. Since 2010, REALTORS® across Canada have collectively helped raise more than $2.5 million via the Canadian Red Cross.
CREA and the REALTOR® community in Canada trust our partners at the Canadian Red Cross to respond quickly to disasters and emergencies—providing food, clothing and shelter to those impacted, and help communities build resilience in the face of climate change.
About CREA’s National Disaster Relief Approach
In 2024, CREA’s Board of Directors approved changes to our association’s National Disaster Relief Practice, based on the recommendations of its Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Committee.
Our updated practice stipulates that CREA will help communities across Canada recover from increasingly frequent and intense natural disasters such as heat waves, floods, storms, and wildfires, by launching national REALTORS Care® fundraising campaigns on behalf of our members, in support of all new domestic Canadian Red Cross appeals. To avoid competing with domestic appeals and ensure quick and efficient action, CREA will not launch campaigns specific to international appeals moving forward.
When campaigns are launched, the Canadian Red Cross creates REALTORS Care® donation portals for use by REALTORS® and their networks, funds raised can be measured. CREA will then notify the REALTOR® community and our members of any new campaigns, via email and social media.
In addition, CREA will maintain standing REALTORS Care® donation portals for those members interested in supporting the Canadian Red Cross’ humanitarian relief efforts in response to major emergency events within Canada and around the world.
