The Fraser Valley REALTORS® Charitable Foundation is looking for volunteers to serve on various Board committees.
The FVRCF had its beginnings over 50 years ago with the foresight of five former Fraser Valley Real Estate Board (FVREB) presidents. In 1969, these individuals personally purchased nearly 4 acres of land and, years later, sold this land to the FVREB for their original purchase price, with explicit instructions that the property be used for the benefit of the community.
Today, the proceeds from the sale of that very property have been endowed and make up the assets of the Foundation. The interest generated from the endowment are used to benefit the communities of Surrey, North Delta, Langley, Abbotsford, Mission, and White Rock.
In particular, the Fraser Valley REALTORS® Charitable Foundation has identified as its mission, the support of marginalized and vulnerable youth.
The FVRCF is seeking volunteers from the FVREB community for various committee positions.
Committees include:
- Nominating
- Fundraising
- Public Relations
- Finance, Audit, and Investment
- Granting
- Governance
- Golf Tournament
FVRCF committees typically meet bi-monthly for approximately 1-2 hours. Prospective volunteers having experience with charitable organizations an asset, but not required.
Perhaps most importantly, a prospective volunteer should feel a connection to the vision and mission of the Foundation – that the Fraser Valley is a safe and inspiring place where marginalized and vulnerable youth have safe, healthy, and stable places to live, learn and work. A place where youth can participate fully in opportunities which will positively shape their lives, while empowering them to support their own communities in meaningful ways.
