Benevolent Fund
The Knoxville Area Association of REALTORS® Benevolent Fund is one of only a dozen of its kind at REALTOR® associations nationwide. The KAAR Benevolent Fund provides assistance to KAAR members and their families, who can demonstrate severe financial hardship due to prolonged illness, catastrophic event or accident, or similar occurrence beyond their control.
The Knoxville Area Association of REALTORS® Benevolent Fund relies solely on the donations from the community and is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, making all contributions tax deductible.
The Benevolent Fund’s Board of Directors is responsible for promoting its existence, coordinating special fundraising projects, and for the confidential approval and administration of any financial assistance. Initial Board of Directors members are Jim Oakley, Marianne Azambuja, Betsy Coleman, Mansour Hasan, Pat McGill, and Diana Traylor. KAAR CEO Lyle Irish serves as the Executive Director of the Fund.
If you would like to make a contribution, you can call the The Knoxville Area Association of REALTORS® office and pay with a credit card, or mail in a check (made out to KAAR Benevolent Fund) to 609 Weisgarber Rd. Knoxville, TN 37919.
A very special thanks to the KAAR affiliates for their fundraising efforts to help make sure the Fund starts off with money in its coffers.
