For nearly two decades, the Nareit Foundation has supported educational and charitable initiatives for the REIT and publicly traded real estate industry.

The Nareit Foundation launched the Nareit Hawaii Community Giving Initiative in 2018 to support affordable housing and family focused programs. In more than four years, the Nareit Foundation initiative has given nearly $2 million statewide.

The Nareit Foundation undertook a significant expansion of its mission with the launch of the DTD Giving Campaign and Grant Program that raises funds from Nareit members to support of organizations, initiatives, and programs that expand employment, entrepreneurship, and investment education in commercial real estate.
