The Society of Industrial and Office Realtors (SIOR) Foundation has awarded a $22,000 grant to the Kyiv School of Development (KSD) to establish a 'Recovery Manager' program. This initiative aims to train at least 100 specialists in rebuilding efforts across Ukraine, focusing on regenerating areas affected by the conflict with Russia. KSD, a leading institution in real estate education since 2017, will provide this training free of charge to equip professionals with the skills needed for sustainable development. This grant reflects SIOR's commitment to advancing the commercial real estate sector by promoting education and responsible development practices.

The Mildred C. (Millie) Hanson, SIOR Memorial Fund, which was established to honor and support women in commercial real estate, will grant two $8,000 scholarship to outstanding female students enrolled in an accredited real estate program at a college or university in the United States or Canada.

We all joined SIOR for the same reason: the designation which offers a unique opportunity to be recognized as the “best of the best” as well as to network regionally, nationally, and internationally with this elite group of dedicated professionals that we can trust to serve our client’s needs. As a result of our passion and culture, there is a cherished and respected bond between the membership. With this understanding, the SIOR Foundation provides an excellent vehicle for giving back and saying “thank you” to SIOR for providing us with the platform to overachieve and foster lifelong friendships. The SIOR Foundation affords you a unique opportunity to give back to the commercial real estate industry. This opportunity is far superior to what an individual SIOR alone can accomplish. To become a member of the SIOR Foundation Board of Trustees, please contact SIOR Foundation Immediate Past President Chris Curtis, SIOR, at ccurtis@nugentcurtis.com.

The SIOR Foundation Endowment Program establishes a matching grant that, when partnered with university foundations and generous SIORs, will create sizeable scholarship endowments at some of the best real estate schools in North America. The first two (2) endowments - The SIOR-SparrowHawk Foundation Excellence Award and The SIOR Foundation – Mildred C. Hanson Endowed Scholarship Fund - have already been established.

The SIOR Foundation provides grants, scholarships, and awards to support and recognize those currently working in commercial real estate.

To assist small SIOR chapters in providing continuing education to its members and to help with increasing their membership, the SIOR Foundation has developed the Small Chapter Development Program. This program provides qualifying chapters with up to $5000 as an UNMATCHED grant to sponsor an event that will educate its members as well as interest other professionals in their local market; offering chapters the opportunity to earn revenue by charging admission and at the same time market the benefits of joining SIOR.

The SIOR Foundation will provide up to $4000 per chapter annually in matching grants for chapters to mentor and sponsor students to attend SIOR global, regional, and chapter conferences, at no cost to the student. The Student Real Estate Experience Program promotes the commercial real estate industry to potential professionals as they begin exploring their career path.
