It's that time of year again to help spread the word about the Ontario REALTORS Care® Foundation's Every REALTOR® Campaign Grant Program.

The Foundation is dedicated to supporting shelter-related causes and helping provide hope and assistance to communities across Ontario. LSTAR is proud to participate in this important initiative.

If you know of a charitable organization within the LSTAR jurisdiction that could benefit from this funding opportunity, please encourage them to apply. Applications and supporting documents should be submitted to Kelly Bougie, Director of Operations, at kbougie [at] lstar.ca (kbougie[at]lstar[dot]ca) no later than August 15, 2026, at 4:30 pm.
