The CT REALTORS® Foundation was established primarily to provide disaster relief in times of need and to award scholarships to deserving high school, college/graduate and vocational/technical students. Those efforts were eventually expanded to include programs aimed at addressing hunger, homelessness, animal and child welfare. Our mission is "To be good neighbors to our members, our communities and the world. REALTORS® Care."  All donations received via Birdies for Charity will go directly to the Raymond F. Gates, Jr. Memorial Scholarship Fund.
