Since its inception over fifty years ago, Smith & Associates Real Estate has been committed to its mission of positively impacting the Tampa Bay community. To further formalize our dedication to supporting local non-profits, we launched the Smith & Associates Real Estate Foundation in the Spring of 2021. Established through Community Foundation Tampa Bay, the Foundation creates a seamless approach for Smith employee and organizational participation in philanthropic causes by aligning donations and sponsorships to non-profit organizations and providing support for volunteer engagements and Board service.

For each element, funding priority will be given to at-risk, vulnerable, and special needs populations.
