COMMUNITY IMPACT FUND

 

Our Community Impact Fund comprises fifty percent of the membership fees from our agent, marketing and consultant members, alongside funds raised by events and donations. Driven by our Member Directed Giving and nominations from our community, we select two beneficiaries per award cycle to receive a comprehensive award spanning three years. The award comprises a three-year grant, membership benefits and vital networking support. Read on to find out more about the past beneficiaries of our Community Impact Fund, and our ongoing impact.
