The goal of the NAR Sustainability Grant is to provide funding assistance to state and local REALTOR® Associations to help implement a sustainability program, event, plan, or update for their members, and to encourage ongoing awareness of sustainability and resilience in real estate.
A Sustainability Grant must be used to fund projects that will keep Sustainability awareness top of mind for REALTORS® and Association staff. Grants are available for up to $5,000 per association.
Examples of potential Association Sustainability Projects may include:
- Creating a Sustainability Committee or task force
- Hosting an educational event on sustainability in your market
- Hosting an environmental cleanup involving members
- Sustainable, energy- or resource-efficient upgrades to your association office
- Facilitating the creation of an association sustainability plan
- Crafting resources tailored to environmental hazards or resiliency needs specific to your local market
- Creating resources, programs, or initiatives promoting sustainable practices
And many more! We look forward to hearing your association’s innovative ideas and proposals!
Please note that by applying for funds through the National Association of REALTORS® Sustainability Program, the association agrees to accept counsel and advice from NAR, including, but not limited to, alternatives or alterations to their application and plan prior to being awarded funding.
