CREW San Diego is passionate about supporting industry professionals striving to advance their careers in the commercial real estate space, and we feel strongly about giving back to our membership and community by providing opportunities for CREW members to further their education.


For that reason, in 2022 CREW SD launched its own local non-profit foundation, CREW Building Futures Foundation (CREW BFF), which administers scholarships for CREW San Diego members who are dedicated to academic and professional excellence, positive leadership, and community commitment. As of 2024, we have awarded 7 scholarships to our members.
