Real
One Real Impact Agent Assistance Fund
Agent Assistance Fund for Agents in Times of Crisis
Real agents have access to a unique monetary grant program through One Real Impact that provides financial support during challenging times. These grants are designed as direct assistance, not loans, and recipients are never required to repay the funds. The grants are tax-exempt and can be applied for during specific qualifying circumstances such as natural disasters, personal emergencies, or periods of significant hardship. Any agent affiliated with Real is eligible to seek this supportive financial aid when facing difficult life situations.

- We’re collecting new and gently used clothing (especially for kids), baby supplies, and other essentials to deliver directly to families in need. Donations will be loaded into a U-Haul and driven to California, to ensure they go directly to trusted organizations working with the victims.
- Financial donations are being gathered via gofundme.
