Pub Background
The Royal LePage Shelter F
In 1979, the Royal LePage Charitable Foundation was
established with an endowment of $1.4 million. Since that
time, the company has donated over $2.3 million to many different
charities working in communities across Canada. This
contribution has been supplemented by many individual acts
of kindness by Royal LePage offices and sales representatives
in their local communities.
In 1998, Royal LePage recognized the potential for making
an even more significant impact by focusing all of its
national and local efforts on a single cause. This approach
would enable the development of long-lasting relationships
and build a common base of experience and knowledge that
could be shared to the
advantage of the charitable
partners as well as
the Royal LePage offices
in their work in the
community.
Royal LePage Shelter
Foundation
The Royal LePage
Shelter Foundation
emerged from a national
survey sent out to all
offices. The Royal LePage
sales force indicated
that the cause of shelters
most closely reflected
their choice of where
Royal LePage should
concentrate its charitable efforts.
Given the variety of types of shelters, the Foundation
decided to support designated shelters based on a three-year
cycle. The national survey also indicated that a number of
offices had developed partnerships with their local shelter
for women and children fleeing violence and abuse. The first
three-year focus starting in 1999, therefore centres on shelters
for women and children fleeing violence and abuse. In each
community where Royal LePage operates, the local office has
been partnered with the local women’s shelter. Existing partnerships
with women’s shelters continue to thrive, and new
relationships have been developed thanks to our partnership
with the Canadian Women’s Foundation.
