Disaster Relief Resources for GAR Members
As the reports of damage from Hurricane Helene start to come in, we want to remind you of an important member benefit for Georgia REALTORS®. The GAR Disaster Relief Fund is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that was established to assist Georgia REALTORS® who have suffered damages to their primary home or home office due to a natural disaster.
Since 2008, more than $370,000 has been distributed to REALTORS® who met the criteria for fund disbursement. More than $13,000 has been distributed to members of the public who have also met the criteria.
