REALTORS® WHO CARE
Helping WMLAR REALTORS®, affiliates, and the communities they serve.
For more than 25 years, REALTORS® Who Care (RWC) has supported members of the West Michigan Lakeshore Association of REALTORS® and the communities along the Lakeshore. This 501(c)(3) nonprofit provides financial assistance to association members and affiliates facing unexpected hardship, while also supporting local charitable organizations.
About REALTORS® Who Care
REALTORS® Who Care actually predates the creation of the West Michigan Lakeshore Association of REALTORS®. When three Lakeshore REALTOR® associations merged in 2000 to form WMLAR, RWC continued its mission of helping members and the broader community during times of need.
As an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, RWC operates under its own Board of Directors. All donations are tax deductible.
Through fundraising events and member support, the organization has provided thousands of dollars in assistance to REALTORS®, affiliates, and local charitable causes.
