FOOT-BY-FOOT

Make a Difference in Orange County’s Youth, One Square Foot at a Time.

A unique aspect of Building Block is the Foot by Foot Contribution Program, which is a sustainable fund-raising mechanism that provides a recurring income stream for Building Block Foundation Fund. Organizations or individuals can contribute on a quarterly basis utilizing a percentage of the gain from each successful transaction or activity. Each organization can establish a level that is comfortable through self-determined programs using suggested participation levels. Once established, the program is sustained based on the performance of that individual or company as part of their everyday business.

Another valuable aspect of the Foot by Foot program is that each contributing company can let clients, employees and peers know that they too are playing a valuable role in supporting Orange County’s at-risk youth. It all promotes Building Block’s philosophy that working together the Orange County real estate industry will make a bigger impact on the future of local youth – whether it is foot by foot or person by person.

Following are some participation recommendations utilizing some of the specialty areas within the real estate industry that may help in determining an individual or corporate contribution level.

Lender	One half basis point of loan amount
Multifamily	$1 per tenant credit application
