OUR STORY
DEVELOPMENT
CHARITIES FUNDING PARTNERSHIPS FOR AMERICA & CARES
represent a revolutionary innovation in the generation of business to business real estate referral funding development
for the donation of financial grants to Charities & Nonprofit organizations throughout the United States.
​​
​
Our CHARITY & CARES beginning
​
​
​
In the Fall 2012, my father and I began developing the concepts & designs that would serve as the foundation of our CHARITY & CARES partnering innovations. Our initial concept, VETERANS FIRST AMERICA, envisioned the development of a national charity that would focus on providing Veterans returning home after serving our nation, only find massive unemployment, with a defined pathway to professional employment, designed to assist them accomplish their most important mission, supporting their families.
​
VETERANS FIRST AMERICA was designed to assist returning Veterans develop the knowledge & training required for professional employment success during an intensive 17 day program. Our exclusive program innovation, would provide our Veterans with a no cost Real Estate Education, Real Estate Agent Licensure and placement with Real Estate Corporations within their Communities, for a structured 90 day mentoring program with experienced Realtor professionals.
​
However, once the design & structure of our program was completed, and we sought out other private & public funding resources, we discovered that developing funding was the major problem that affects Charities & Nonprofit organizations. In fact, it appeared, that the Nonprofit Community was divided, between Legacy Charities & Nonprofit organizations, with missions well known and $$$ Millions in endowments, providing the financial assets required to fund regional & national marketing campaigns, and Grassroot Charities & Nonprofit organizations, that represented the majority of the 1.8 Million registered nonprofit organizations in the United States, that were in constant need of funding, to develop & sustain their important missions, directed at helping those in need within local Communities.
​
This problem, presented a significant obstacle for people of good will,
that had developed important Charity & Nonprofit concepts, designed to assist those in need within their Communities.
A problem that required a solution,
and my Father and I agreed to refocus our efforts on developing a funding development solution that would assist
those that strove to bring their important Charity & Nonprofit concepts to life.
Our Revised Mission
​
Design a Charity that would become the funding development resource for Charities & Nonprofit organizations,
that people of good will, with important concepts & programs designed to help their Communities,
could partner with to develop a consistent source of no expense donation & grant funding.
​
However, life soon consumed our efforts;
first, dealing with my Father's illness and subsequent passing, then business; then family; and finally,
all too soon, my Mother's illness, care within her home, and passing.
During that time, I completed the first steps of the vision that we had shared
with the redesign & registration of VETERANS FIRST AMERICA as a 501 (C)(3) with public charity status in 2015
and the registration of CHARITIES FUNDING PARTNERSHIPS FOR AMERICA as a 501 (C)(3) with public charity status in 2018, which were founded in honor of my family's dedication to service
developing a funding development resource
with the mission of providing no expense funding to Grassroot & Legacy Charities & Nonprofit Organizations. ​
​
At that point in our development, I had the Charities redesigned & established, their missions defined,
and a funding concept that I was certain could be reimagined & redesigned to provide the key features of the
funding development solution that we had envisioned
​
-
no cost donations & program directed financial grants
-
no cost partnering & donation development
-
consistent funding opportunities
​
​​
​
​
​
borrowed & reimagined from 30 years of experience as a Real Estate Broker, designing, developing & managing real estate companies,
The key idea, was to use the traditional Real Estate client referral to provide Buyers & Sellers with opportunities to direct referral funding to support their preferred Charities, without any cost to them !
​
Designed and then redesigned, imagined and reimagined, then redesigned again, reviewing many methods of using Real Estate client referrals to develop funding for Charities ...
​
​
until one day I had it ! I had the solution ! and it was simple ...
​
​
GIVE THE BUYER & SELLER THE REFERRAL
and let them select the Realtor they prefer to assist them !
​
INNOVATION !
​
​
Buyers & Sellers could register with our Charity & CARES our nonprofit Real Estate partner, receive a CARES-Referrals © from the CARES Real Estate Broker, and then give the CARES-Referrals © to any Realtors the the Buyers & Sellers prefer to assist them with their Real Estate purchases or sales; for the Realtors to present to their Real Estate Companies & Real Estate Brokers for acceptance & signature, completing the referral & transfer of our Clients to their Real Estate Companies service.
​
​
COMPLETING THE REAL ESTATE BROKER TO REAL ESTATE BROKER TRANSACTION
A REQUIREMENT OF THE TRADITIONAL REFERRAL !
​
​
​
NEXT
​
Program names were developed, identifying the program innovation
and the Communities our programs were designed to assist.
​
Now that our Charities, developed through years of design & redesign, until they were finally right;
had program names reflecting the community & cause that each Charity was designed assist,
are ready to be used by people of good will, that CARE.

REAL ESTATE REFERRALS
​
What is a Real Estate Referral ? and how does a CARES-Referral fund Charities ?
​
Many people would define, a Real Estate Referral, as the recommendation from a Realtor they know, of a Realtor
in another town, city or State where they are planning the purchase or sale of Real Estate.
The Realtor you know, who is making the recommendation is generally expected to have vetted the Realtor
for you, and their recommendation is made for your best interest.
Many people believe that the recommendation from the Realtor they know is without cost to them

​
Traditional Referral ealtors would receive traditional Client Referrals of Buyers & Sellers that were planning the purchase or sale of real estate within their communities, from referring Real Estate Brokers & Real Estate Companies, located in different towns, cities & States, to present to their Real Estate Brokers for acceptance, signature & return the Referral & client transfer agreement via email to the offices of the referring Real Estate Brokers.
​​
-
The Client Referrals would contain the Names & Contact information of the registered Buyers & Sellers the referring Real Estate Brokers & Real Estate Companies were transferring to referred Real Estate Brokers & Real Estate Companies that served the communities the Buyers & Sellers were planning the purchases or sales of real estate, for their Realtors to contact, and provide them assistance with their purchase or sale of real estate.
​​
-
The Client Referrals offered no opportunity for the Buyers & Sellers to select the Realtors they wanted to assist them with their purchases or sales of real estate as the Referrals & transfers of Clients were directed to specific Realtors and Real Estates Companies.
​​
-
The Referrals would require referred Real Estate Brokers & Real Estate Companies remit 25% to 35% of any Commission received at the Closing of their referred & transferred Buyers & Sellers real estate transactions to the referring Real Estate Companies.
​​
-
Once the referred & transferred Buyers & Sellers real estate transactions were closed, the contracted compensation, a percentage of the Commission received by our Real Estate Company, would be forwarded to the referring Real Estate Companies.

​
REFERRAL FACTS:
​
​
-
Referrals are contracts between Real Estate Brokers, that transfer a registered client from one real estate broker to another real estate broker for compensation. Referrals provide the name & contact information of a Buyer or Seller of real estate, that is planning the purchase or sale of real estate outside of the referring Real Estate Broker's service area. Referrals are directed to Realtors & Real Estate Brokers in the area that the Buyer or Seller is planning the purchase or sale or real estate. Referrals require the referred Realtor & Real Estate Broker remit compensation to the referring Real Estate Broker equal to 25% to 35% of the Commission the referred Real Estate Broker receives from the referred Buyer's or Seller's purchase or sale of real estate.
In the CARES-Referral © Buyers & Sellers select the Realtors & Real Estate Companies they want to assist them with their purchase or sale of real estate. Our Buyers & Sellers are not offered FOR SALE as in the traditional real estate referral system, our Buyers & Sellers select the Realtor & Real Estate Company they prefer, and give the Realtors their referral that requires 25% of the Commission their selected Realtors & Real Estate Companies receive be remitted to fund Charities.​
​
-
The Referral had NO EFFECT on the purchase or sales price of a property.​
In the CARES-Referral © the Real Estate Company is required to remit 25% of the Commission that they receive at the closing or the real estate transaction, This has no effect on the purchase or sale price, because the Commissions are determined after the purchase or sales price has been negotiated by the Buyer and Seller with the assistance of their Realtors. The Commissions for the Realtors & Real Estate Companies involved in any purchase or sale of real estate are determined by the Closing Agency or Real Estate Attorney during the preparation of the closing documents for all parties of the real estate transaction.​
​​
-
The Referral Compensation is remitted after the referred Buyers or Sellers purchase or sale of real estate has been closed​​
CARES-Referrals © require 25% of the Commission; this is determined by the Sales price that had been negotiated by the Buyer and Seller with the assistance of their Realtors, and finalized by both parties of the purchase or sale at the Closing of the real estate transaction.
​
-
The Referral Compensation is a percentage of the actual Sales price of the property, generally between 20% to 35%
CARES-Referrals © require Real Estate Companies that receive our referrals remit 25% of the Commissions they receive at the closings, which is below the average referral cost that they would generally be required to remit.
