The Windermere Foundation recently donated $1000 each to three local non-profits. Here are the details from Bruce Bright with the Windermere Foundation:

The Windermere Foundation receives money from each Agent when an Agent Closes a Real Estate transaction. Our Burien Office pools our money with 6 other Windermere Offices, 2 in Federal Way, 2 in Renton, 1 in Kent and 1 in Maple Valley.

In October the 7 Offices put on an Oktoberfest Event at Fairwood Golf Course and we raised $15,000 to go to the Foundation. In our group of 7 Offices it is all Volunteers, no one gets paid, so it is all to the Foundation. This was our 3rd Event, like this. We started doing the Events 3 years ago because we have not raised as much money because of the poor Real Estate Market. We needed to do something extra to help out the Organizations we give Grants to. We also do a Spring Grant.

Our Burien Office is giving Grants of $1000 each to Hospitality House in Burien, Victory Outreach in Burien, and Angle Lake Family Resource Center in SeaTac.

Here is some additional information on the Hospitality house grant:

The Burien office of Windermere Real Estate has given a $1,000 grant to Hospitality House, a homeless shelter for women located in Burien. The have been open every night since 2000, helping women move on to better places. This grant will fund one woman for 45 days in the programs at Hospitality House and it greatly appreciated by Hospitality House.

The Oktoberfest is staffed by all volunteers so all funds raised goes to the foundation.
