Local Fundraising Effort for Habitat for Humanity Matched Dollar-for-Dollar

Gulfport, MS – The EXIT and Habitat: Dollar-for-Dollar Matching Program made an impact recently when one brave EXIT Realty franchise owner rappelled down Biloxi’s IP Casino Resort Spa, one of the tallest structures along the gulf coast of the United States, to raise money for Habitat for Humanity of the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

When the opportunity to participate in the “Hang Out with Habitat” event was brought to the attention of EXIT Realty of Mississippi Regional Owners, Kathy and Troy Dooley, they wasted no time in looking for an EXIT Realty Associate who might be willing to take the plunge.  Tiffany Burgess, Broker/Owner of EXIT Magnolia Coast Realty stepped right up.  “We didn’t have to look far,” said Troy.  “Tiffany is passionate about Habitat.”

"Tiffany had her work cut out for her,” said Kathy.  To be eligible to rappel over the side of the IP Casino, participants had to each raise $1,000 in a very short period of time. “Tiffany used her marketing skills to get the word out and was able to hit that goal within a few days.”

Application was then made to EXIT Realty Corp. International’s new matching program whereby EXIT Associates anywhere in North America can work in conjunction with their local Habitat for Humanity office to raise funds for a specific project or initiative and submit a proposal for those funds to be matched dollar-for-dollar from EXIT Realty’s pledged pool of funds to Habitat for Humanity International.  Tiffany’s $1,000 fund raising effort was doubled.

“Tiffany is the youngest brokerage owner in the Region.  She accepted the challenge and made us all proud,” said Troy.

 EXIT Realty Corp. International Announces Matching Funds Program Benefiting Habitat for Humanity

Mississauga, ON – EXIT Realty Corp. International, a real estate franchisor with brokerage locations across the U.S. and Canada, today announced a program to match funds raised by its brokerages and agents to benefit Habitat for Humanity initiatives in their local communities.

A portion of every transaction fee received by EXIT Realty Corp. International is pledged to its non-profit organization of choice, and to-date $3 million dollars has been pledged to Habitat for Humanity.  EXIT Realty’s affiliation with the non-profit began in 2004 when the company sponsored its first Habitat for Humanity home build in West Palm Beach, Florida. Since then they have sponsored 18 additional home builds in Canada and the US, have participated in a community revitalization project and the Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project.

Through the EXIT & Habitat: Dollar-for-Dollar Matching Program, EXIT Realty’s involvement with Habitat for Humanity can potentially reach every community where an EXIT office exists. EXIT Associates anywhere in North America can work in conjunction with their local Habitat for Humanity office to raise funds for a specific project or initiative and submit a proposal to EXIT Realty Corp. International for those funds to be matched dollar-for-dollar from EXIT Realty’s pledged pool of funds to Habitat for Humanity International.

“Our new matching funds initiative extends EXIT’s support of Habitat for Humanity to the grassroots level of the local Habitat offices in the communities where our agents live and work,” said Tami Bonnell, EXIT Realty Corp. International CEO.  “We believe, as Habitat does, in empowering people to better their lives.  Now, we can reach more people than ever before.”
