Nareit

The Nareit Foundation, through its Dividends Through Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DDEI) Giving Campaign, launched a new grant program to support organizations addressing gaps and barriers faced by underserved or underrepresented businesses, professionals, and students. The grant application process is now open, and the *deadline for applications is Thursday, March 9, 2023, at 8:00 p.m. EST*.

The DDEI grant program will prioritize awarding grants to nonprofit organizations whose programs and initiatives address systemic challenges faced by Black/African Americans Latino/Hispanics, women, first-generation college students, historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and high-school students. Programs must focus on workforce and professional development for a variety of careers in real estate, and supplier diversity initiatives supporting minority- or women-owned business enterprises (MWBEs).

*Interested in applying? Follow these three simple steps:*


* *Sign up* [ [link removed] ] to receive grant updates from Nareit
* Plan to *attend* an informational session to learn more about this grant on:
* March 3, 2023, at 11:30 AM EST [ [link removed] ] (hosted by Nareit)

* *Register* to create your mandatory JustFund account [ [link removed] ] to access and submit your application

The DDEI grant program is funded by Nareit and 39 Nareit members, and you can see the list of donors here [ [link removed] ]. The goal is to create a REIT and publicly traded real estate industry that is more representative and inclusive of the communities in which people live, work and play.
