Chili Cookoff Fundraiser is coming Oct 8th -- Booth selection is Sept 17th 8:30am

There are many sources of contributions within our membership who will give outside of faith-based commitments through the real estate industry they work and love. To maximize the community service effort of our association, the Arlington Board of REALTORS authorized the establishment of a "tax-exempt, charitable foundation" named the Arlington Board of REALTORS Community Service Foundation (ARBOR CSF) in 2007. It is the Foundation's goal to use 100% of funds raised or donated to go to important programs and projects within our local community.

The Foundation

Individual housing and community housing related improvement projects.
Housing supplemental financial support for medical dependent homeowners or apartment dwellers or our own members.
Helping change temporary housing status of families.
Expanding educational scholarships and creating internship opportunities.
Expand our relationship with existing organizations like the Boys and Girls Clubs of Arlington.
Creating new relationships with new organizations and fill needs not currently met.
