CREW Network Foundation raises funds for the following programs: UCREW (university outreach), CREW Careers (high school outreach program), eMentoring, scholarships (annually providing $5,000 and $10,000 awards to young women in real estate programs), and market research. CREW Atlanta has reaped the benefits of these programs. We have consistently gained CREW members from these scholarship recipients and several of these young women have begun successful careers at local commercial real estate firms.
Our UCREW and eMentoring programs are fast becoming models for the CREW Network community. If you have participated on the CREW Atlanta Network Liaison Committee (the committee of CREW Atlanta that implements these programs) or have been a participant or volunteer, you have personally seen the benefit. We are providing a great service to our local community and personally giving back by lifting up the next generation of women in commercial real estate. Below is a list of some of the community giveback CREW Atlanta is involved in:
Atlanta Women's Foundation
Since its inception, The Atlanta Women’s Foundation (AWF) has awarded more than $12 million to over 250 nonprofit organizations impacting tens of thousands women and girls throughout metro Atlanta. Donors like CREW Atlanta made this possible.
For 20 years, CREW Atlanta has partnered with The Atlanta Women’s Foundation on behalf of Atlanta’s women and girls. Through major fundraising efforts, CREW Atlanta has contributed more than $1.3 million to AWF.
The Atlanta Women’s Foundation’s goal is to support organizations that improve the lives of economically vulnerable women and girls. The absence of economic self-sufficiency is at the heart of critical issues faced by women in our community. The Atlanta Women’s Foundation supports organizations that lift women up and out of poverty by increasing their access to services and opportunities for advancement.
CREW Atlanta is involved with the Atlanta Women’s Foundation through:
- Representation on the AWF board of directors
- Representation on the alumnae board
- Financial contributions
- Special Events
- Grantmaking Committees
UCREW
UCREW University Outreach sessions are hosted by CREW Network chapters utilizing their members, professional commercial real estate women, as role models to:
- Teach college students networking fundamentals
- Offer powerful career resources
- Provide relationship-building opportunities in career development.
