NAR is contributing $550,000 to relief of victims of the Haiti earthquake, and is calling upon its 1.2 million members to help. “REALTORS® help build communities and there is no better time than now to do that in Haiti,” says NAR President Vicki Cox Golder. NAR is donating $500,000 to the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund and another $50,000 has already been donated to The Harvest of Haiti, founded by a 2007 winner of REALTOR® Magazine’s Good Neighbor Awards, Patrick Moore. Moore’s humanitarian outreach program in Haiti supports orphans, delivers clean water, and provides medical care to more than 3,500 people a year.

Part of the NAR fund came from Lowe’s, a partner of NAR’s REALTOR Benefits® Program, who contributed $100,000 that was matched by NAR.
