Bellwether Enterprise Foundation
Fostering diversity and inclusion
in commercial real estate
We empower underrepresented students to pursue careers in commercial real estate through scholarships, education, and mentorship.
Our commitment
There’s a shortage of diverse talent in commercial real estate.
We’re working to change that.
Elevating the industry
Embracing the broader knowledge, skills, and experiences that a diverse workforce provides is crucial to elevate the industry and our communities.
By the numbers:
Less than 37% of industry
professionals are women.
Less than 20% of industry professionals identify as black, indigenous, and people of color.
Empowering futures
Your contributions enable us to offer $10,000 scholarships, one-on-one mentorship and professional development with BWE executives, and paid internship opportunities to underrepresented college juniors.
Together, we can increase diversity and inclusion in commercial real estate.
Our impact
Since 2020, the Foundation has impacted the lives of young professionals across the U.S.
