Volunteer Opportunities in Sarasota-Manatee
Since 1939 Wagner Realty has been a leader in our communities, committed to giving back and making a difference in the place we all call "home." Our team is deeply involved in contributing to the well-being of the region on a civic, social and professional level. Our agents and brokers serve on local non-profit boards, organize fundraisers, and volunteer for numerous and varied charities – always looking for ways to support the community through donations of time and money. We celebrate the true meaning of community.
Volunteering is a great way to get involved in the community - it's also one of the best ways to meet like-minded people. Not sure where to start? No problem! Our REALTORS® are familiar with many of the area's charitable organizations. We're involved in too many to list, but here are a few volunteer opportunities for you to explore. If you're interested in finding out more about the hundreds of local charities, a great resource is The Giving Partner website. The Giving Partner reflects many nonprofits in our community that have made a commitment to transparency by sharing in-depth information about their community impact, leadership, and financial history. The Community Foundation of Sarasota County verifies much of the information provided; each nonprofit is required to maintain an updated profile in order to be eligible for funding and other opportunities.
