The Hudson Gateway Realtor® Foundation, the charitable arm of the Hudson Gateway Association of Realtors, is gearing up for another year of providing financial assistance to those organizations dedicated to helping the needy in the New York metro area and elsewhere. The organization donated a total of $40,000 to 20 charities and nonprofit organizations throughout the Hudson Valley and beyond in 2020.
“We are thrilled to be able to provide help to all of the wonderful nonprofit organizations that continue to make a difference in the lives of individuals and families in our communities,” said Maryann Tercasio, president of the HGAR Foundation. “We are extremely grateful for the generosity of our Realtor members, colleagues and sponsors who have made all of these donations possible.”
Despite the COVID pandemic, the Foundation managed to hold several virtual fundraising events, including a cooking demonstration, various online fundraising events and a holiday concert. “While we were disappointed that we could not hold our popular Pub Nights and a major gala this year, we are delighted that we were still able to raise funding from our online events,” said Bonnie Koff, chair of the fundraising committee.
The Foundation is now seeking applications from charities and nonprofits for 2021. For more information or to apply for funding from the Foundation, visit hgrealtorfoundation.com.
