What started in 1989 as a grassroots foundation serving families in need in Washington State, has grown to 10 states and has raised more than $16.5 million for programs and organizations that provide shelter, clothing, children's programs, emergency assistance and other services to those who need our help the most.

Each Transaction Makes a Difference

Windermere's commitment to serving our communities goes beyond providing our buyers and sellers the best in real estate services. Every time a Windermere sales associate sells a home, a portion of the commission goes to the Windermere Foundation, a non-profit organization established in 1989. Contributions from Windermere agents combined with contributions from Windermere employees and the public have allowed the Windermere Foundation to distribute over two million dollars annually in recent years to non-profit agencies dedicated to helping homeless and low-income families.

 Housing is our business

Helping homeless and low-income families is a natural extension of our business. Non-profit agencies receiving Windermere Foundation dollars have furnished emergency and transitional housing, have subsidized costs for services such as health care, employment counseling, placement and training, day care, scholarships and much more.
