Passion for the Cause Supersedes Demanding REALTOR® Schedule 

Royal LePage real estate agents and brokers across Canada are so dedicated to their charity, the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation, that despite their busy schedules, they’re taking the time to give back.  The 2009 Royal LePage Headstart Conference in Penticton, British Columbia and the 3rd Annual Shelter Gala in Toronto, Ontario raised over $130,000 for women’s shelters and violence prevention and education programs. ... Read more in our press release.

Let’s Put Abuse Out Of Commission!

The Royal LePage Shelter Foundation is Canada’s largest public foundation dedicated exclusively to funding women’s shelters and violence prevention and education programs. 

Because we believe in the importance of giving back to the community, Royal LePage is the only Canadian real estate company to have our own charitable foundation. All of the administrative costs of the Foundation are underwritten so that 100% of every dollar donated goes directly to helping our cause.

Royal LePage REALTORS® and their clients are working to create safer homes and safer communities by contributing more than $9 million since 1999 to help women and children across Canada. Through donating a portion of their commission on the purchase or sale of your property, our agents are helping bring hope and provide shelter for those who need it most.

Our brokers, agents and staff also provide volunteer time and in-kind goods, and hold special community events to help raise funds and awareness to end family violence for more than 30,000 women and children who take refuge in a shelter each year.

The Royal LePage Shelter Foundation is committed to making a difference in the area of violence prevention and education. Nationally, we partner with the Canadian Women’s Foundation and with the Fourth R curriculum-based education program. In Quebec, we also support the Fondation Marie-Vincent.

Local Program

Saturday, Jan. 01 2011  |  Posted by: Surina  |  0 comments

Local Program

Each of over 600 Royal LePage locations are encouraged to partner with a local women's shelter. This type of partnership can offer much-needed financial support to local shelters, as well as other needed goods and services. It is a valuable opportunity for Royal LePage sales representatives and employees to make contributions of money, goods, time, and skills.

Funds raised by the local Royal LePage offices remain in their local community. Local efforts benefit local shelters, and because Royal LePage pays the costs of administration, 100% of all money and effort goes toward the cause.

If you are interested in participating in a local Royal LePage Shelter Foundation event, please contact your local Royal LePage office or REALTOR^®.

National Program

National Program

On a national level we take a long-term view to violence prevention through our partnership with the Canadian Women’s Foundation and with our sponsorship of The Fourth R Program.

Canadian Women’s Foundation

Funds we donate to the Canadian Women’s Foundation are used for grants that lead to long-term systemic change that assist women’s groups with economic development and violence prevention.

The Fourth R

The Fourth R is a grade-nine school program for preventing dating violence, substance abuse, and risky sexual practices. The contention of the Fourth R is that relationships skills can be taught in the same way as reading, writing, and arithmetic. The Fourth R is proving to be successful in engaging budding teenagers to make healthy choices and to relate to each other in a positive way.

The Fourth R was launched in Alberta and Saskatchewan in Fall 2005.

Planned rollout across Canada:

1. British Columbia and Manitoba in 2006
2. Ontario in 2006
3. Atlantic Region in 2007
4. Quebec in 2008
