$8 Million in Charitable Support Helps EXIT Realty Give Back to Local Communities

Mississauga, ON – EXIT Realty Corp. International is proud to announce that its Spirit of EXIT Charitable Program has surpassed an extraordinary $8 million in giving, underscoring the company’s commitment to fostering positive change across North America. 

"This milestone is a testament to the collective generosity and passion of our EXIT family, who continuously seek out ways to make a difference beyond real estate," said Tami Bonnell, Co-Chair of EXIT Realty Corp. International. “At our core, we encourage our owners and agents to live their ‘why,’ which for many is through giving, and this program was specifically designed to help them facilitate that.”

Since its inception, the Spirit of EXIT Charitable Program has empowered associates and offices to support causes close to their hearts, matching funds raised locally by EXIT associates and amplifying impact where it’s needed most. In 2024, this mission of giving back and strengthening the places they call home contributed to a wide range of non-profit categories, including:

 

·         Children – 26.5%

·         Community Support – 26.5%

·         Medical Support – 21.0%

·         Veterans – 10.5%

·         Habitat for Humanity – 5.5%

·         Medical Research – 5.5%

·         Cancer – 3.0%

·         Animals – 1.5%

 

A unique aspect of EXIT Realty’s business model and Formula is its commitment to reinvesting in people and communities. A portion of every transaction is set aside and held in trust to fuel the Spirit of EXIT Charitable Program, whereby the corporation matches up to $3,000 per fundraising initiative, allowing agents and offices to multiply their efforts in supporting local, approved charities.

"Since stepping into the directorship of this program earlier this year, I've gained a profound appreciation of the deeply personal and often courageous reasons our associates decide to give back,” explained Sharron Richardson, EXIT’s VP of Broker Services. “Their commitment to creating meaningful change in their communities is truly inspiring."

From food banks and veterans’ organizations to community rebuilding efforts after natural disasters, this program reflects EXIT’s core belief that real estate is about more than just transactions—it’s about transformation.
