Edina Realty Foundation
Shouldn’t everyone have a place to call home? That’s what Edina Realty agents thought when they offered their helping hands in establishing the Edina Realty Foundation. The Foundation is funded by donations from our agents and employees, as well as from Edina Realty, Edina Realty Mortgage, and Edina Realty Title.The Edina Realty Foundation extends financial support to non-profit organizations that provide housing and other services such as counseling and medical care to the homeless. Since its inception in 1996, the Foundation has raised over $5.4 million to help experiencing homelessness or towards homelessness prevention in the committees we serve.
Because of our Foundation’s charitable giving, Edina Realty has joined an elite group of companies recognized for their outstanding contributions to the community through the Minnesota Keystone Program. This program identifies Minnesota organizations that donate a two or five percent pre-tax profits to Minnesota charities.
