2022 Cheers for Charity event program

June 16, 2022

Proceeds benefit the SAMCAR Foundation The San Mateo County REALTORS® Foundation was created to benefit housing-related causes throughout San Mateo County. The SAMCAR Foundation is a separate 501(c)3 Public Benefit Corporation, funded through the generous contributions of its REALTOR® and Affiliate members, and friends.

Since its inception, the SAMCAR Foundation has focused its charitable efforts towards benefitting organizations and programs that strive to make San Mateo County a more livable, affordable and thriving community. Through its work, the SAMCAR Foundation has made significant financial contributions that have enabled many of our San Mateo County citizens to finance a down payment on their first home, make their mortgage payments, and receive the education needed to make a sound investment in their financial stability and future through homeownership.

Homeownership is said to bring about substantial social benefits for families and communities as a whole. Thus, the SAMCAR Foundation’s primary goal is to help ensure that everyone in San Mateo County is able to achieve the American Dream of owning a home. Our REALTOR® members and Affiliates are proud to contribute to this important and worthy endeavor.

The San Mateo County REALTORS® Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization (tax ID# 94-3163126) providing grants to housing-related charities in San Mateo County, including:
