Update on Real Estate Apprentice Foundation

The following statement was released on August 31st, 2021.

The Board of Directors of the Real Estate Apprentice Foundation has decided to pause the activities of the Foundation.
 
The Real Estate Industry, at this time, is distracted with a complicated real estate market and the challenges of the surging Delta variant. Industry associations and companies appear to not currently have sufficient bandwidth or interest to support a major charitable drive at this time; further, with Diversity, Equity and Inclusion often a political hot potato, many people in our industry also appear to be uncomfortable or not ready to participate in a broad-based initiative of this nature.
 
The Foundation will pause its donation drive and grant-giving activities until 2022/3 at which time the viability of this charitable initiative will be revisited. All donations received in 2021 are being returned to the donors with tremendous gratitude for their support.
