About the CBR Charitable Foundation Fund
The mission of the Columbus Board of REALTORS® Charitable Foundation Fund is to support real estate related programs and entities whose goals are to improve the overall real estate environment in central Ohio.
The REALTOR® Foundation Fund has tax-deductible charitable status, providing a way for the real estate industry to pool resources and have a positive impact on central Ohio housing. Since 1991 the CBR Charitable Foundation Fund has awarded hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships and grants to community organizations and students.

In 1991, the CBR established this Field of Interest Fund in partnership with the Columbus Foundation. With charitable status under Section 501c(3) of the IRS code, gifts qualify the donor to federal, state, estate and/or gift tax deductions. Contributors are advised to consult legal or tax counsel concerning their own tax situation.
