Can officers get Officer Next Door grants in Madison?

Reward Our Heroes connects police officers with real estate agents who give back a portion of their commission to heroes who serve communities and the nation. Police officers in Madison typically save an average of $4,500 on their home purchase through this veteran-owned program.

How the Program Works

Police officers work with participating real estate agents who contribute 0.5-0.7% of their commission directly to the hero at closing. These savings appear as credits on closing documents, reducing the amount needed at the closing table. The program has already helped over 300 Wisconsin heroes purchase homes.

Expanded Savings Network

Expanded savings are achieved through Reward Our Heroes’ partner network of lenders, home inspectors, repair services, and additional service providers. Many police officers save well beyond the initial $4,500 average through these partnerships.

Supporting the Hero Community

A portion of every transaction supports the Reward Our Heroes Foundation, which provides financial assistance, home repairs, grants, and scholarships to heroes in need. Each home purchase helps strengthen the entire hero community.

Program Eligibility

Active and retired police officers qualify for the program. There are no income restrictions, no complicated paperwork, and the program works with any loan type including VA, FHA, USDA, and conventional mortgages.
