Description

The National Association of Realtors’ Placemaking Grant helps REALTOR® associations plan, organize, implement and maintain community placemaking activities. It supports work that transforms unused or underused sites into vibrant outdoor public spaces where people can gather, relax and connect. The program aims to strengthen REALTORS’ ties with their communities, develop relationships with public officials, and spur economic growth and development through new public gathering places.

Supported activities range from temporary demonstrations that test a project’s viability to permanent spaces such as community gardens, trails, playgrounds, pocket parks and pedestrian plazas. Permanent-project funding also supports improvements to existing spaces and community amenities, including benches, lamps and wayfinding signs.
