Season 6 Episode #7 "Supporting Families in Need: The Windermere Foundation Comedy Night Fundraiser"
- Franny Wood is the outreach director for the Windermere Foundation which supports low income and homeless families.
- The foundation was started by Windermere Real Estate in 1989. Funding comes from agents contributing a portion of their commissions as well as additional donations that are above and beyond.
- 96% of money raised gets distributed to communities due to low administrative costs.
- In 2022, the average grant to organizations was $4,000. Grants help around the holidays when there is increased need.
- The foundation is hoping to spread awareness and increase donations.
- The inaugural Windermere Foundation Comedy Night fundraiser is on November 6 in Seattle featuring Colin Jost. A similar event is happening in Portland on November 7.
- People can buy tickets at Windermerecomedy.com or donate directly if they can't attend.
