Goldie Initiative Creates Scholarship with CREW Chicago, Debbie Frank Legacy Fund

‘The Goldie Initiative, a nonprofit that helps prepare women for senior leadership roles in commercial real estate, has received a grant from the Debbie Frank Legacy Fund to support The Goldie Scholars program and establish a strategic partnership with CREW Chicago.

The focus of this strategic partnership is to fund one additional Goldie Scholar associated with a Chicago-area graduate institution. Debbie Frank, who passed away in 2020, was a respected and accomplished leader in the Chicago area commercial real estate community, who was passionate about helping women succeed in the field.

The Debbie Frank Legacy Fund/CREW Chicago/Goldie Scholar will be chosen from among the 2024-25 cohort of Goldie Scholars. With a unique strategy of scholarship, mentoring, networking and skills development, The Goldie Scholars program supports women pursuing graduate-level studies in business, law, design, or management with a focus on real estate.
