Delta REALTORS® Community Service Foundation

For more than 50 years, REALTORS® in eastern Contra Costa County have joined with their affiliates in the real estate industry to make important contributions to community service programs. Acting as a committee of the association, members and affiliates have provided support to several programs.

The "CanTree" provides monetary and food donations for local programs like Bay Area Community Service, St. Anthony’s Catholic Church, Brentwood Regional Community Chest, Golden Hills, and Antioch Senior Center. Donations are also given to the Elderly Wish Foundation and granting "wish lists" for teen students in local group homes.

To maximize the community service effort of our association, the DAR Board of Directors authorized the establishment of a 'tax-exempt, charitable foundation' named the Delta REALTORS® Community Service Foundation (DRCSF).

The DRCSF Scholarship Program provides support for local high school seniors seeking financial assistance to pursue their education in vocational/trade schools, community colleges, or 4 year universities. Every East Contra Costa County high school is offered an opportunity to participate. This includes traditional and alternative high schools in Pittsburg, Antioch, and Liberty High School Districts. The Scholarship Committee annually awards several $1,000 scholarships.

Fundraising efforts include social and networking events as the Delta Harvest Run, Bowling Tournament and Raffle Baskets. Under the incorporated 501(c)(3) status, DRCSF is able to solicit donations from individuals and corporations who limit their contributions to IRS qualified charities. Additionally, with the association providing administrative & accounting support, little, if any, funds raised are used for administration.

It is the goal of the Delta REALTOR® Community Service Foundation that 100% of funds raised or donated go to the important programs for which it is intended. Our members make huge contributions in time, energy and monetary support to worthy community causes. This organization has the ability to expand its fundraising efforts and to broaden the list of beneficiaries. All of which make REALTORS® and Affiliates of DAR truly 'good neighbors'.

Bylaws of the organization call for the periodic election of a Board of Directors and address a myriad of organizational details. Each year the DAR President and Board of Directors appoint The DRCSF governing Board of Directors. The satisfaction of providing support to causes in our immediate neighborhoods coupled with the positive image that REALTORS® and Affiliates get as a result of their community involvement, continues to stimulate a high level of participation.
