MAR Foundation Gala
Thursday, September 17, 2026
An evening filled with generosity, camaraderie, and community impact. Coming together over great food in a beautiful space to give back and move toward our shared mission of helping end homelessness in our Minneapolis communities.
The MAR Foundation’s mission is to support local non-profit organizations that provide housing and housing-related services to low-income families and individuals in our community. We believe everyone should have a place to call home and are proud to support local efforts to make that happen.

2025 Gala Highlights
In 2025 we raised over $110,000 to help local nonprofits in their mission to end homelessness! We also awarded our fourth Impact Grant to the Greater Minneapolis Crisis Nursery! We are so grateful for, and inspired by, the Realtor® commitment to stable, vibrant communities for all.
If you are interested in contributing, there is still time to make a difference! Every donation directly benefits local organizations working to combat homelessness.
