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!
