An endowment granted by the Real Estate Foundation is a fund that earns interest income to be applied to purposes agreed upon by the Foundation and the recipient institution. The principal grant amount remains untouched as a long-term resource for the institution. The general purposes of the endowments listed below are public and professional education. Some endowments are intended to support research, emphasizing applied outcomes. All endowment grants were made on the condition that the recipient institution would match the grant amount with money raised from other sources.

Where possible, we have linked the endowments to the appropriate program or faculty website. Click on the links below to find more information about the programs supported by Foundation endowments.
