2025 Good Neighbor Award Nomination

About the Good Neighbor Fund

Good Neighbors are REALTORS® and Affiliates who dedicate themselves to volunteer service. They donate gifts, money and most importantly, a lot of time to their charity.

GAAR Good Neighbor Awards are open to all GAAR members, both REALTOR® and Affiliate, who dedicate themselves to volunteer service. Each year up to four REALTOR® recipients and one Affiliate recipient are awarded. Recipients will receive a $1,000 grant for their charity and will be featured in GAAR's consumer outreach campaign.

Nominate a REALTOR® or Affiliate by completing this Nomination Form.

Have questions? Contact Jane at 505-724-3465 or by email, jane@gaar.com.

Nominations are comprised of two (2) parts and incomplete nomination packets will not be considered. Part 1 is to be completed by the Nominator. Part 2 shall be completed by the Nominee. The deadline is Monday, November 3, 2025.
Eligibility

1. Nominees must be members of GAAR in good standing.

2. Nominees should have contributed to a program that improves the livability of a local community. Those activities aren't limited to real estate or housing issues, and may include such things as crime prevention, youth mentoring, animal welfare, and homelessness prevention.

3. Nominees should have made a significant contribution of personal time, but contributions of money, materials or other resources will be considered by the judges as well.

4. Nominees will be judged on level of personal contribution, impact of personal contribution, broadness of impact, and the project's suitability as a role model for other REALTORS®.

5. The award is intended to recognize individual contributions, not association or company-wide efforts. However, if an individual within your company can be singled out as instrumental to the success of a group effort, he or she is eligible. If the achievements of two people (such as a married couple or co-founders of an organization) absolutely cannot be separated, they can enter as a pair and their entry will be considered as one.

6. Some portion of the nominee's community work must have taken place between November 2024 and October 2025, but judges will also consider ongoing efforts outside that time frame that demonstrate a depth of commitment.

7. Nominees should be able to document the results of their individual involvement through published reports and/or testimonials from the organization they served or the people they helped.

8. Nominations must be accompanied by a completed nomination form and application (Part 2) to be considered. REALTORS® may nominate themselves or may be nominated by another GAAR member, a state or local association, or the community organization they served.
