Community Rebuilding GrantA

NAR is committed to leading the way on policies that address racial injustice and that build safe and inclusive communities. Our new Community Rebuilding Grant provides special funding for REALTOR® Associations to lead efforts to rebuild and restore public community places impacted by the recent racial injustice demonstrations.

Apply for up to $3,000 to clean-up and repair public community spaces such as parks, playgrounds, pedestrian plazas, walk-ways/sidewalks and buildings including graffiti.

Funds received can be used for gloves, masks, paint, sponges, paint brushes, cleaning supplies, building and repair materials, tools, replacement benches/playground equipment, and day-of-clean-up meal for REALTOR® clean-up crew.

A maximum of one grant is awarded per year per association. However, associations may split the funding up among several communities.

See how one REALTOR® Association used the Grant to revive a beloved park.

  • I'm excited NAR is helping to provide additional resources that REALTORS® can use to be a part of the healing and rebuilding process within our communities. I am encouraging our young REALTORS® to get involved in their communities and provide input into plans that allow us to be in the midst of the solution. As we fulfill our commitment to be part of the overall solution, the Community Rebuilding Grant is a great first step.
