About the Judge Fite Charitable Foundation
At the heart of our company lies a deep commitment to people—one that goes beyond real estate. The Judge Fite Charitable Foundation was established in 2017 to provide emergency relief and meaningful support to individuals facing some of life’s most difficult moments. Whether it’s the devastation of a home fire, debilitating illness, car accident or unexpected loss of a loved one, we are able to provide grants to those navigating hardships. These stories are reminders that compassion, when paired with action, can help people rebuild, recover and rediscover hope.
“As a company, we believe our purpose is bigger than property—it’s people,” said Jim Fite, chief executive officer. “The Judge Fite Charitable Foundation allows us to serve others in their most critical times of need. I say it often, and I mean it: You make a difference in others’ lives.”
Over the last 25+ years, our fundraising efforts have united our people with purpose. Together, we’ve raised over $4 million in donations, supporting more than 600 charitable organizations that are close to the hearts of our Judge Fite family. From large-scale events like A Night at the Museum and Boots & BBQ to in-office potlucks, bingo nights and cornhole tournaments, each fundraiser is another opportunity to extend kindness and impact lives.

Please accept my deepest thanks for the Judge Fite Charitable Foundation grant. It has helped me during a time of crisis and has helped more than you know. I am humbled by your generosity and kindness. - grant recipient
The grant you awarded to a family member in need was a shock, surprise and truly an unbelievable moment for them. I delivered the news via phone call when I got the news and couldn’t help but shed a few tears at thankfulness, amazement and appreciation. Not only was I truly grateful, but proud to know that the company I worked for shared in compassion for others, helping people in the Judge Fite work family and understanding of tragic needs that impact individuals. I want to thank the group for accepting my request and the Judge Fite Charitable Foundation for making this happen. More people need to contribute, and I believe a little each month goes a long way. - staff, CENTURY 21 Judge Fite Company

I can’t possibly tell you how much we appreciate your Foundation’s generosity. This contribution means so much to our family and our son was so excited to know he would definitely be going to Camp Sweeney to learn more about his medical condition next summer. We are blessed by your kindness.” – grant recipient
I remain overwhelmed and grateful for the care and generosity that you showed me. It has been a tough road back from illness and injury, but I have been blessed beyond measure by love, prayers and gifts that have allowed me to keep moving forward. In a dire time of need you assisted me so that I can keep getting to my teaching job. For that I am so very grateful. – grant recipient
