The Alberta Real Estate Foundation (AREF) is an example of nickels and dimes that collectively add up to millions of dollars that are held in trust and distributed throughout the province to worthwhile projects and communities that focus on education, research, land stewardship, housing, and community innovation.

For the Alberta Real Estate Foundation, investing in the people of Alberta is an evolving process. We strive to make purposeful investments that make a real difference for the real estate industry and for all Albertans. Successful community investment is a balance of art and analysis.

The foundation is continually learning and adapting its community investment strategies to ensure that funding awarded contributes to our guiding principles and creates successful results for the organizations and communities that collaborate with us on projects.

Since our inception in 1991, we have invested over $20 million to 600+ projects that enhance the real estate industry and benefit the people of Alberta.
