Placemaking Grants fund state and local REALTOR® association projects that create new, outdoor public spaces and destinations in a community on unused or underused sites.

Placemaking Grants now allow funding of community asset improvements such as street benches, lamps and/or wayfinding signs and to allow for improvements to existing spaces.
