The Georgia Association of Realtors Inc directs most of its giving to strengthen the real estate profession and support local Realtor associations across Georgia, with sizable, repeated grants for disaster relief and member-focused scholarships. Outside of the Realtor network it also funds pro-business and public policy organizations and a handful of community service charities (e.g., food bank, civil & human rights museum). Grants are typically restricted to financial assistance and concentrate on state and regional recipients rather than national causes.
A pair of six-figure-plus disaster-relief and scholarship grants shows how Georgia Association of Realtors Inc centers its giving on the Realtor profession in Georgia. The largest recent awards went to Georgia Association of Realtors Disaster Relief and Georgia Association of Realtors Scholarship Foundation, both in Atlanta, each receiving repeated support across multiple years. That pattern points to a funder that uses grants for immediate assistance and professional development rather than broad philanthropic programming. The foundation’s recent grants also show steady support for local Realtor boards around the state, including Savannah Real Estate Board, Athens Board of Realtors, Newnan-Coweta Board of Realtors, and others. Those awards suggest a network-based approach: funding flows to associations and related entities that serve Georgia Realtors and the communities where they work. Alongside profession-specific support, the foundation has made grants to organizations such as Southeastern Legal Foundation, Georgia Chamber of Commerce, Georgia Economic Developers Association Inc, Feeding Georgia Inc, and the National Center for Civil and Human Rights Fdn. The overall picture is of a Georgia-focused grantmaker using relatively modest, recurring awards to support member services, local associations, and selected civic partners.
Disaster relief is a clear priority. Georgia Association of Realtors Inc gave $57,772 in 2025 and $51,907 in 2024 to Georgia Association of Realtors Disaster Relief, reinforcing support for emergency aid within the Realtor community. Education and scholarship support is another visible thread. In 2025, the foundation awarded $56,085 to Georgia Association of Realtors Scholarship Foundation, and it also gave $15,000 to Uga Foundation in 2023 and again in 2024. Local association support is broad. Savannah Real Estate Board received $45,000 in 2024, $27,549 in 2023, and $20,000 in 2025. Athens Board of Realtors received $17,000 in 2025, $14,100 in 2023, and $13,800 in 2024. The foundation also backs policy and business-oriented organizations. It awarded $35,000 in both 2023 and 2024 to Southeastern Legal Foundation, and $29,120 in 2023 to Georgia Chamber of Commerce.

Concentrated, state-focused giving with many repeat grants to local Realtor boards and internal affiliate programs; predominately modest-sized financial assistance awards rather than large multi-year unrestricted endowments.
Notable grantees: GEORGIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS DISASTER RELIEF, GEORGIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS SCHOLARSHIP FOUNDATION, SAVANNAH REAL ESTATE BOARD, SOUTHEASTERN LEGAL FOUNDATION, GEORGIA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Typical grants cluster tightly around the $10,000 to $15,000 range, with p25 at $9,981, median at $10,550, and p75 at $15,000. The largest recent awards are exceptions rather than the norm. Recipients appear across multiple years, especially for disaster relief, scholarships, and local boards, which points to recurring relationships rather than one-off giving. The foundation is not an individual-giving vehicle and does not make program-related investments. Its active programs include unsolicited options for Georgia REALTORS® Scholarships and disaster relief, while general grants and advocacy-related requests are handled through published GAR channels.
Giving is entirely within the United States, and every recent grant recipient is in Georgia. Atlanta appears frequently, with grants to Georgia Association of Realtors Disaster Relief, Georgia Association of Realtors Scholarship Foundation, Georgia Chamber of Commerce, Georgia Economic Developers Association Inc, Feeding Georgia Inc, and the National Center for Civil and Human Rights Fdn. Other recurring recipient cities include Savannah, Athens/Watkinsville, Newnan, and Marietta. The grant map is statewide but local, with 100% of grants going to recipients in the HQ state, Georgia.
The foundation primarily supports Realtor associations, disaster relief, scholarships, and related Georgia-based civic or policy groups. Recent grants include repeated support for local boards such as Savannah Real Estate Board and Athens Board of Realtors, along with disaster-relief and scholarship funding in Atlanta.
Typical awards are modest and clustered around a narrow range: p25 is $9,981, median grant size is $10,550, and p75 is $15,000. Recent grants include many awards near that band, with larger exceptions for disaster relief and scholarship support.
Yes. The recipient-country distribution shows 57 grants in the US, and 100% of grants go to recipients in Georgia. Recent recipients are spread across Georgia cities such as Atlanta, Savannah, Athens/Watkinsville, Newnan, Marietta, and Columbus.
There are clear recurring relationships. Georgia Association of Realtors Disaster Relief received grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025, Savannah Real Estate Board received awards in 2023, 2024, and 2025, and Southeastern Legal Foundation received grants in both 2023 and 2024.
The active programs list shows unsolicited access for Georgia REALTORS® Scholarships and the Disaster Relief Fund. The GAR Grants general program and advocacy-related request forms are also listed, while RPAC and RIAC support funds are administered through the Governmental Affairs Department with published application processes.
