LaSalle is renewing their pledge to PREA Foundation, to help develop more diverse talent and provide them accessibility to the real estate industry globally.
LaSalle has pledged a donation of US $50,000 each year, over the next five years to PREA Foundation, which gives LaSalle the status of a Benefactor Donor. This is the second time LaSalle has pledged, the first being from 2017 to 2022. LaSalle and PREA Foundation have had a long-standing relationship, with many LaSalle employees participating in PREA Foundation events, panels and discussions over the last few years.
The Foundation’s mission is to further the interests and values of the institutional real estate investment community by advancing industry-wide diversity and inclusion. The Foundation, in partnership with donors, is working on developing the largest and most comprehensive talent pipeline for the industry.
Partnerships with donor organizations help PREA Foundation achieve their mission. PREA Foundation funds the creation of career development programs to help underserved youth access life-changing careers in the vast real estate industry. These career development programs include job training and workforce development. Some of the non-profits the Foundation works with include Toigo and Girls Who Invest. Donor organizations can access resources through PREA Foundation which makes it easier for them to recruit diverse talent from these programs.
Donations also fund the creation of career development programs to help underserved youth access careers and opportunities in real estate. These career development programs include job training, workforce development, and skill development.
Additionally, donations fund a variety of educational resources including webinars and seminars open to all in the industry. These educational programs help address long standing DEI challenges in real estate, through providing best practice workshops.
LaSalle’s donation allows them to join respected industry leaders whose contributions create opportunities for the next generation.
