All contributions are allocated primarily to student scholarships, academic programming, and research infrastructure — the core of our charitable purpose.
Direct contributions at any level fund scholarships and grants awarded to students in the MRE and MDes (REBE) degree programs.
A voluntary, capped pledge of 5–10% from closed deals — turning professional success directly into scholarship assets for the next generation.
Educational sponsorships of $500–$2,500 support the scholarship fund and our free public programming, with recognition at flagship events.
“Because of the MREAA fellowship, I could spend my final semester researching community land trusts instead of taking a second job. That work is now my career.”
Mentor a student, lead a site visit, or join a chapter committee — alumni volunteers power everything we do.
