Community commitment and corporate giving

Created in 1996, the Edina Realty Foundation was conceived by a group of Realtors and employees who expressed interest in Edina Realty and its affiliate companies, focusing their charitable dollars in the communities they serve.

The Edina Realty Foundation is a not-for-profit, private foundation supported by the sales and employee partners and corporations of Edina Realty, Edina Realty Title and Edina Realty Mortgage. It offers financial support to organizations that provide housing and related services to the homeless in the markets the companies serve. Since 1996, the Foundation has donated nearly $8 million to help meet the needs of the homeless in those markets.

As an extension of the Foundation, the company also holds an annual Community Service Day – a day in June when Realtors and employees gather together to perform volunteer work at various projects in their communities.

In addition, Edina Realty and its offices host an annual Trees and Toys program, in which agents invite customers to pick up a holiday gift of a tree or wreath and in exchange are asked to bring a toy to be given to a local charity.
