What if every home sold helped a family who had lost theirs?
Every day, real estate professionals help families reach one of life’s biggest milestones: finding a place to call home.
At the same time, families around the world are losing theirs to disaster and conflict.
The Give a Home Program connects these two realities, turning home sales into support for families rebuilding after disaster.
One family finds home. Another gets the chance to rebuild it.

One Agent’s Idea
In 2018, real estate professional Brian Fox was celebrating a closing when a simple question came to mind: What if every home sold could help a family who had lost theirs?
That question became Give a Home.
Created in partnership with ShelterBox, the program makes it easy for real estate professionals and brokerages to build philanthropy directly into their business.
“I wanted to build social responsibility directly into my business—not just for my clients, but for families who had lost everything.”
-Brian Fox, Founder of Give a Home
How it Works
You close a home
A family finds their new home through you
You make a contribution
You donate a portion of each home sale to ShelterBox as a Give a Home member
ShelterBox deploys
Emergency shelter & supplies reach families in need
A family rebuilds
Hope and stability restored after disaster
Why Partners Join
Every closing carries more meaning: Transform a transaction into two life-changing moments: for your client, and for a family rebuilding after disaster.
Clients remember the story: A purchase that helped another family is something buyers and sellers are proud to share.
Stand apart from the market: Purpose-driven business is authentic differentiation, not just a tagline.
Your team wants to be part of this: Give a Home turns everyday work into something bigger than a transaction.

Home Changes Everything
Home is more than a building.
It is safety. Stability. A place to gather, grow, and begin again.
When disaster destroys a home, families lose far more than a roof over their heads.
Through Give a Home, real estate professionals help provide emergency shelter and essential household items that allow families to start rebuilding their lives.
No industry understands the importance of home better than real estate.
