Royal LePage is the only Canadian real estate company that has it's own charitable foundation, the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation. The Shelter Foundation is a national organisation that benefits local shelters for women and children escaping violence in our communities.

Royal LePage has set this up so that each Brokerage across the country (our brokerage is: Royal LePage Estate Realty) is associated with shelters local to their community, so any money that Brokerage or individual agents from that office raise stays within that community. At LTHome and Royal LePage Estate Realty, our fundraising dollars go directly to:

- The Red Door Shelter
- Nellie's Shelter
- The Scarborough Women's Centre

One of our favourite aspects of the Foundation is that Royal LePage Corporate covers all of the administrative costs for the foundation, so that 100% of every dollar raised goes directly to the shelter's and the people that need it.

Keep an our website and social media platforms as we often talk about events and ways you can get involved in supporting the Shelter Foundation. Plus, a portion of our commission at the Collective, from every purchase or sale, also goes to the Shelter Foundation.

At LTHome we are so grateful to be a part of this great community and so thankful to each of our clients, family & friends for supporting our business, which in turn supports the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation.

"Since its founding in 1998, the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation has proudly grown to become the largest public foundation in Canada dedicated exclusively to funding women’s shelters and domestic violence prevention. Royal LePage is the only Canadian real estate company with its own charitable foundation.

The Shelter Foundation has raised more than $46 million to-date and currently supports 200 local women’s shelters and national partners. Our agents donate a portion of their commissions, and Royal LePage offices across Canada host local fundraising events. Our brokers, agents and staff also volunteer and provide in-kind goods to benefit the women and children residing in their local shelters. Every dollar raised goes directly to helping the more than 50,000 women and children who are served each year by the shelters and support programs we fund."

#NoMatterWhat Is the message for this year’s Terry Fox Run on September 15th.

Once again, Lainey and Lola will be lacing up their sneakers and taking part in The Beaches Terry Fox Run.

‘We Are Shaped by the Obstacles We Face’, is the title for the new Legacy Art Project installation that was opened on Queen’s Quay in October 2023. It is a ‘public space dedicated to the spirit of courage, determination, and action that Terry Fox embodied...throughout the Marathon of Hope in 1980’.

Please consider a donation as Lainey & Lola walk, jog, run in an effort to continue the fight against cancer. Click here to access their Donation Page. Thank you in advance for your support!

THANK YOU to everyone who SHOPPED, DONATED & SUPPORTED

the LTHome Garage Sale for Shelter we raised an incredible $3,142!!

On May 6th our Royal LePage Estate Realty family hosted 15 Garage Sales and we are thrilled to announce that collectively we raised a total of

$20,000!!!

The proceeds from Garage Sales will go directly to The Red Door Shelter, Nellie's Shelter and The Scarborough Women’s Shelter, through the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation.

What we love about this organization is that Royal LePage pays all the administration cost for this charity so 100% of the money raised goes directly to the shelters and people that need it most.

The Royal LePage Shelter Foundation is Canada’s largest public foundation dedicated exclusively to funding women’s shelters and violence prevention programs.

Every dollar raised goes directly to helping the more than 50,000 women and children who are served each year, by the shelters and support programs we fund. Since 1998, the Shelter Foundation has raised $41 million to-date and currently supports 200 local women’s shelters and national partners.

At long last- SPRING has sprung! And while the sun is shining and the birds are chirping; you might be taking in the aftermath of great Canadian hibernation. There’s no doubt that throughout the cold winter months we tend to accumulate stuff; whether you’re ‘duvet shopping’, strolling a toasty mall or still grappling with your holiday loot. It’s been a long winter of stuffing things into the dark corners of closets, but now it’s time to start digging for your beloved pair of sandals, making room for your floppy beach hat and finding a resting place for that tired parka!

Whether you’re on team ‘Spring Clean Serenity’ or team ‘Do We Have To?’ there is SO much to be gained by a good old fashioned SPRING CLEAN, it’s Science!

According to researchers, clutter causes more than just a mess, it actually contributes to a significant amount of STRESS. A whopping 47% of North Americans report they are preoccupied by their house not being in order. Studies have shown that clutter causes your cortisol levels to spike, and it even results in decreased productivity at the office; the stress and anxiety of having a messy house is even said to stick with you throughout your time away from home. But the good news is it takes just a little bit of elbow grease and determination to get your nest back in order, and once you reach some level of organization, research suggests you're much less likely to fall back into bad habits. Once it exists, your brain is actually programmed to maintain the cleanliness. Game Changer!

If this isn’t quite enough to sway your motivation- how about considering the IMPACT your parted possessions could have on the lives of Women and Children in your community!

Thanks to the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation, you can watch your new found home organization translate into real dollars and make a real difference in supporting shelters that house over 50,000 individuals in need of refuge.

So while you’re taking inventory of your crammed-full cupboards, and piled-up places please consider putting aside your gently used items to donate to the Garage Sale for Shelter. Donations are typically accepted the first week of May and are appreciated more than you know!

The Royal LePage Shelter Foundation is Canada’s largest public foundation dedicated exclusively to funding women’s shelters and violence prevention programs. Since 1998, the Shelter Foundation has raised more than $38 million and currently supports 200 local women’s shelters and national partners. In addition to this annual nation-wide fundraising event, Royal LePage agents proudly donate a portion of their commissions, volunteer their time and provide in-kind goods towards making a difference through the Shelter Foundation.
