MILWAUKEE (June 10, 2024) – The Real Estate Alliance for Charity (REACH) today announced that applications are open for its Charitable Giving Program, which awards a three-year grant totaling $45,000 to a deserving nonprofit organization that works to enhance the lives of children and families in Southeast Wisconsin.
REACH is the primary charitable organization for the commercial real estate community in southeast Wisconsin and is supported by a partnership of allied real estate associations, including BOMA, CARW, CCIM, NAIOP, SIOR, IREM and WCREW, as well as hundreds of local companies and individuals. Since 1998, the organization has donated more than $950,000 to approximately 70 local charities.
REACH’s Charitable Giving Program provides a $15,000 grant annually for three years to three local organizations. Each organization is guaranteed a three-year commitment, for a total donation of $45,000. The 2024 application window runs now through July 24. Current recipients of this program include Fondy Food Center, SecureFutures and Walker’s Point Youth & Family Center.
In addition to the annual Charitable Giving Program, REACH’s ongoing High Impact Grant is a smaller grant program designed for quick-response, one-time needs and opportunities. Grants of up to $5,000 are awarded for eligible projects and activities, and applications are accepted and reviewed on an ongoing basis.
“REACH is proud to support the community in which we live by providing critical funding to smaller organizations that have a direct impact on this region but are often overlooked by larger foundations and charitable programs,” said Emily Hurd, Principal/Vice President of Business Development at Henricksen and REACH President. “As we near the milestone of nearly $1 million donated to meaningful nonprofits in our community, we encourage organizations in need to apply to our annual Charitable Giving Program and our ongoing High Impact Grant program.”
