We’ve all experienced loss, setbacks, struggles and stumbles in the last few years — some of us, much more than others. With a seemingly never-ending global pandemic still upon us, supporting one another is more important than ever.
Fellow members at all stages of their careers need support — and you can help.
CREW Network Foundation and CREW Network Foundation Canada fund scholarships, programs and services that directly support women in the industry. Donate to the We’ve Got Your Back Campaign below to help your fellow women in CRE overcome setbacks and hardships to advance in their careers.
You have the opportunity to support the Foundation's Greatest Needs or Annual Scholarship funds. Please donate now through February 28 to help us reach our $25,000 campaign goal. Thank you!

February 1 marked the start of Black History Month, a federally recognized celebration of the contributions African Americans have made to this country and a time to reflect on the continued struggle for racial justice. This month, CREW New York celebrated Black History Month and the enormous contributions African Americans have made in all facets of our society, while recognizing that we have significant work ahead to create a future where everyone has access to economic opportunity and justice in America.
Black History Month, also known as African-American History Month, is an annual celebration of achievements by African Americans and a time for recognizing their central role in US history. The story of Black History Month begins in 1915, half a century after the Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery in the United States. Since 1976, every US president has officially designated the month of February as Black History Month. Other countries worldwide, including Canada and the United Kingdom, also devote a month to celebrating Black history.
This Black History Month, CREW New York is also celebrating and recognizing the numerous and unique contributions made of black pioneers who are making an impact in Commercial Real Estate.
