I'm always happy to get referrals and glad to pay the standard referral fee. Having that fee go to a charity that my client cares about is a win for me, the client, and the charity. IIC makes it easy.

Alex Fraher / Residential broker in Chicago.

As treasurer of our elementary school's volunteer fundraising group, I can say that the $1,766 from Investing In Communities was probably the easiest money we've ever raised, considering how little time and effort it required. We definitely see how IIC could be a great fundraising tool for us and other schools.
