Darbee is an active licensed agent with Keller Williams Realty Maui. KW Cares is a tax exempt 501(c)(3) public charity created to support Keller Williams Realty associates and their families in times of extreme hardship as a result of a sudden emergency. Our local KW Ohana, is working hard on our local fundraisers and working with KW Cares in hopes that KW Cares rewards a grant to Darbee to support living and medical expenses during this challenging time.
KW Cares is the heart of the Keller Williams Realty culture in action – finding and serving the higher purpose of business through charitable giving in the communities where our agents live and work. Although KW Cares is an official non-profit, they will not accept funds to be applied directly to any individual. Each office has goals to contribute yearly most of which comes from agents contributions at escrow closings. In addition, local offices are expected to do local fundraisers as we did this year raising money for the Maui Food Bank.
When applying for a grant, extensive financial, personal and medical records showing need are submitted. The local Keller Williams office ensures that the applicant is an active agent or direct family member. On the grant application, the local office must demonstrate that it has done it’s own fundraising for the cause. We have established a separate account for collecting contributions for Darbee under the name — The Queen of Our Hearts. The local KW office is monitoring this account to ensure that the information needed for a matching grant is available.
Your contributions through our The Queen of Our Hearts fundraising efforts are NOT tax-deductible but are considered gifts directly to Darbee and her family. The good news for Darbee is that any gift from an individual should not be taxable. Please consult with your CPA or IRS if you have questions.
We hope to be able to stretch your contributions further by getting a matching grant from KW Cares for Darbee. Read stories about how KW Cares has made a difference in lives.
