The
Make a Difference Fund
At Barker Realty, we introduce clients to new neighborhoods
and dream homes every day, yet we cannot ignore the conditions
that many people in our community live with daily. Our Make a
Difference Fund is one way we stay connected to the community.
To help effect change, each year we select a group of local nonprofit
humanitarian organizations as the beneficiaries of our Make a
Difference Fund, and we dedicate a portion of every transaction
to the fund. Any business you do with Barker Realty keeps the
circle unbroken. Whether we help you buy or sell a home, you make
a difference.
How It Began
The Barker Realty Make a Difference fund was created in 1999,
when we decided to do something to benefit the community we live
and work in. After careful consideration, we chose to focus our
attention on—and contributions to—animal welfare issues.
Since 1999, we’ve contributed more than $50,000 to an array
of animal-welfare organizations:
Supporting Human Interests, Children’s Groups,
and Animal Welfare
Since its inception, the Make a Difference Fund has continuously
collected a percentage of every business transaction at Barker
Realty. Year after year, we have watched the fund strengthen the
work of its recipients. Because of this success, we have expanded
our attention and contributions to include humanitarian interests
and children’s groups as well as animal-welfare organizations:
Our awards dollars now reach a broader spectrum
of people, children, and animals in the Santa Fe community. Barker
Realty is proud to have offered a total of $20,000 to these organizations
in 2006. In this way, Barker Realty and our clients continue to
make a difference in our community.
Every time a home is bought or sold through Barker
Realty, a donation is made to the Make a Difference Fund, which
helps organizations like the Food Depot, Habitat for Humanity,
the National Dance Institute, and Youth Shelters and Family Services
continue to provide aid to our community.
