2012 Grant Request Information
for the ECAR Community Benefit Event
In the past, the Community Benefit Raffle and Bazaar was an annual event that is conducted in December by the Community Relations Committee of the Eastern Connecticut Association of REALTORS® Charitable and Education Fund that is attended by REALTOR® members and Affiliates of the Association. Features of the event included the drawing for major prizes from raffle tickets sold from October to December, a Tea Cup auction and a 50/50 raffle. Last year over $15,000 was donated to 28 local charities during the holiday season. These monies were used in various ways to help the unfortunate in our community, which is our workplace.
In February, 2011 the Committee decided to move the next event to March, 2012 and to change the format to include the drawing for major prizes from raffle tickets sold, a silent auction and a live auction.
The Committee extends an invitation to any local charity to request funding for a specific dollar amount for a specific use. Interested organizations will complete a Community Grant Application. To access the application, click here. The deadline for filing the application is September 2, 2011.
Eastern Connecticut Association of REALTORS® Charitable and Education Fund is a not for profit 501 (c) 3 corporation that is wholly owned by the Eastern Connecticut Association of REALTORS®. Donations to the fund are, therefore, tax deductible.
