Heart to Heart Real Estate is based on the principle of utilizing funds generated by a real estate transaction to affect massive change through community partnerships. At the close of escrow, Heart to Heart will disburse 50 percent of the commission to fund the nonprofit or charitable organizations that are designated by their clients; making it possible for any individual who otherwise would not have the means, to contribute to a nonprofit in need.
Anna Boyd-Bucy, the organization’s Executive Director said “The generous support from Heart to Heart Realty will provide for targeted recruiting, screening, training and matching, as well as ongoing support, safety training and supervision for local volunteers, children, and families.”
For more than 100 years, Big Brothers Big Sisters has operated under the belief that inherent within every child is the ability to succeed and thrive in life. Most children they serve are in single-parent and low-income families or households where a parent is incarcerated. As a part of the nation’s largest donor and volunteer supported mentoring network, they make meaningful, monitored friendships between adult volunteers and children. Funding provides for a system of ongoing evaluation and support that is proven by independent studies to help families by improving the odds that participating children will perform better in school, avoid violence and illegal activities, and have stronger relationships with their parents and others.
