At Windermere Realty Trust, we believe we can make a greater impact on the community when we join together in our charitable efforts. That’s why every broker donates a portion of their commission from each transaction to the Windermere Foundation. Money generated by this standard donation and additional fundraising activities benefits local nonprofit organizations that support low-income families and children.
Since 1998, we have donated over $5 million dollars to support our local community.
