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 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 efficient or resource efficient upgrades to your association office
- Facilitating the creation of an association sustainability plan
- Hosting an informational session informing ways in which REALTORS® can advise on homes’ resilience against extreme weather impacts in your area
- 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.
