Building a Legacy

The CCIM Community Gives Back

CCIM designees understand the impact of the designation on careers, opportunities, and long-term success.

That’s why CCIMs, chapters, and industry partners support the Foundation.

For Individuals

Why It Matters

For donors, Legacy Leadership Society membership is more than charitable giving. It is a statement of belief in the future of CCIM education, in the value of professional opportunity, and in the importance of helping others advance. It is a chance to ensure that talented individuals, regardless of background or circumstance, can pursue the education and credentials that change careers and strengthen communities.

This is how a gift becomes more than support. It becomes a legacy.

Legacy Leadership Society support helps sustain and strengthen scholarship opportunities across key areas of need, including:

  • Opportunity Scholarships that broaden access to the profession
  • Veteran Scholarships that support veterans and military-connected individuals
