Just in time for the holiday season, the Gibson International Charitable Foundation has distributed $15,000 to local charitable initiatives. The foundation is directed and supported by the agents at Gibson International, a high-quality real estate brokerage based in Brentwood, Calif.

The 26 local nonprofits receiving funds this year include: A.I.D.S. Project LA, Alzheimer’s Association, Boys & Girls Club of Venice, Clare Foundation, Disabled American Veterans, Dream Street Foundation, Doheny Eye Institute, Gay & Lesbian Elder Housing (GLEH), Guide Dogs of America, Heal The Bay, Heart Touch Project, Hope Veterinary Center, Lupus L.A., Meals on Wheels, NextStep Fitness, Inc., People Assisting the Homeless (PATH), A Place Called Home, Richstone Family Center, Social Justice Learning Institute, Sojourn, Tower Cancer Research Foundation, United States Adaptive Recreation Center, Upward Bound House, Venice Family Clinic, Virginia Avenue Project, and the YWCA Santa Monica/Westside.

The Gibson International Foundation committee, chaired by broker Tina L. Cameron, meets regularly to discuss the needs of the community and direct resources to programs that improve the well-being of individuals and families throughout greater Los Angeles. According to Tina, “Our focus is on local non-profits. Our agents are determined to make an impact and collectively, we are making a real difference through these awards. We intend this to be an annual cycle of giving by the Gibson International Foundation, and are excited about the impact our grants will make during the years to come.”

At Gibson International, community service is at the core of its values. The funds are a result of direct donations by the agents, including commission rebates, as well as fundraising events. Established in 2009, the Foundation’s initial goal was to raise at least $25,000 before dispersing grants.

“During these challenging economic times, many non-profit organizations are struggling. We are so proud of our agents and staff, who are incredibly philanthropic and give from the heart,” says Scott L. Gibson, president and founder of Gibson International. “Most of them direct a portion of commissions to the fund. Others have organized events like our bowling night, and we also have had toy drives, coat drives and a back-to-school clothing drive this fall. On behalf of all the agents and staff, I would like to congratulate the 26 charities who received funds this year.”

“As a company we believe it is important to address the pressing social & financial needs of our communities. Through our foundation’s grant program and its commitment, we will continue to provide funds to help the less fortunate,” Gibson added.
