Abstract: For some members of the ULI Foundation's Governors Society, philanthropic giving is a way to support the Institute’s efforts to remedy the worldwide shortage of attainable housing, reduce carbon output to fight climate change, and educate a diverse future generation of leaders for the real estate profession. For other governors, their philanthropy is a gesture of gratitude for the role that ULI has played in their professional careers and achievements, or a way to honor friends they made through the organization. And some just want to be an inspiration to other ULI members.The post Governors’ Giving Plays a Vital Role in Achieving ULI’s Mission Priorities appeared first on Urban Land Magazine.
