As real estate professionals, we spend our careers taking care of others. We guide clients through major life milestones, advocate for homeownership across North Alabama, and serve as the backbone of our local communities. But what happens when a crisis strikes closer to home? That’s where REALTORS® in Action (RiA) comes in.
Operating as the benevolence committee and 501(c)(3) charitable foundation of the Huntsville Area Association of REALTORS® (HAAR), RiA exists to support our members, their families, and local community causes during unexpected times of hardship.
What Is REALTORS® in Action?
Whether it’s a sudden illness, a devastating family emergency, or a natural disaster, life can change in an instant. REALTORS® in Action was established to ensure that no member of our HAAR family has to navigate hardship alone.
RiA functions as our association’s dedicated benevolence arm. Beyond offering direct relief to local real estate professionals facing financial or personal crisis, the committee organizes local volunteer initiatives and coordinates annual community days of service across the Huntsville region.
