back—
Windermere thrives on giving back to our community. Enriching the neighborhoods in which we live and work is an integral part of how we do business.
We focus on aiding unhoused and low-income families, especially children, by donating a portion of every agent’s commission to the Windermere Foundation. 100% participation gives us a common purpose and sends a powerful message about our commitment to the community.
Windermere Network has donated more than $53 million in over 50 years.
Community Events
We believe that by focusing first on community, we can better understand and meet the needs of those who live within them. One way we do this is by supporting events that enrich the neighborhoods where we live and work. From crew races and concerts, to golf tournaments and fun-runs, Windermere associates understand that it’s traditions that bring us together and make our communities stronger.
WIN Scholarship Program
Windermere is dedicated to fostering diversity and supporting new agents at every level of success. Recognizing the financial challenges of entering the real estate field, we provide financial assistance of up to $2,500 on a case-by-case basis. With the WIN Scholarship, our goal is to bolster support for new BIPOC agents and enhance Windermere’s offerings, ensuring accessibility and ease of participation.
Windermere Realty Trust is proud to be recognized by the Portland Business Journal’s Corporate Philanthropy Award, Large Business Category.
Community Service Day
We sell homes but we build community. Every year since 1984, Windermere has closed its offices for one day a year to help make a positive difference in our local communities. More than one million hours of community service later, we’ve continued this tradition of working together on neighborhood-enhancing projects in areas where our Windermere teams live, work, and play.

AGENT SPOTLIGHT
Karoline Ashley
WRT is a local brokerage, and that’s really important to me.
One of the things I really appreciate is the strength of the Foundation and how involved all the agents are —invested in making as much money and giving support to the Foundation as they can.
We have a community workday coming up, and it’s not like two agents are doing it — the entire office is fully behind it.
