How KW Cares is Helping Others

In 2007, KW Cares provided substantive financial assistance to 58 Keller Williams associates and their immediate families. We helped victims of flood, wildfires, house fires, life altering accidents and serious medical illnesses. In each case, KW Cares assistance augmented assistance already provided from within the associate’s market center. Working together, market centers, regions and KW Cares are providing much needed emotional and financial support to those in dire need.

One tenth of KW Cares’ proceeds are divided annually between three causes: The Oral Lee Brown Foundation provides assistance for underprivileged students to attend college or a university. Ryan’s Well builds wells in third world countries so children everywhere can have access to clean, safe drinking water. Because so many KW Cares grants are to assist with the high cost of paying for cancer treatments and therapies, KW Cares donates to the three top-rated Cancer Research centers in the United States: the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, and the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center. These centers conduct cutting-edge research in search of a cure for all types of cancer.
