WELCOME TO THE CCIM FOUNDATION

The CCIM Foundation Board of Directors, at its April board meeting, approved the funding of a $10,000 two-year scholarship through the Goldie Initiative. The Goldie Initiative, based in Chicago, offers a prestigious leadership program designed to develop the next generation of women executives in the commercial real estate industry. Their mission is to prepare women for senior leadership roles in all sectors of commercial real estate. The Goldie Initiative does this by providing scholarship support for graduate study, mentorship, and networking opportunities for women with high potential who are committed to becoming leaders in the real estate industry. The Goldie Initiative currently offers scholarships at four of the CCIM Institute’s University Alliance Schools: University of Wisconsin-Madison, DePaul University, Kellogg School of Management, and Roosevelt University. The CCIM Foundation funded scholarship will be limited to women studying commercial real estate at one of these four schools. Learn more about the Goldie Initiative.
