We are honored to recognize CBRE, a powerful partner to Point Foundation whose support continues to transform the lives of LGBTQ+ and ally students. CBRE has enabled us to help even more students by making a significant commitment to our Access Scholarship for first-generation and low-income scholars. Their contribution in 2021 helped us award scholarships to 7x as many Point Access Scholars as the previous year! They also provide leadership and career development programming, including career exposure events at CBRE’s Chicago office. Thank you, CBRE, for your meaningful and multi layered partnership — and for investing in the success, leadership, and belonging of LGBTQ+ and ally students across the country. 💙🌈
