"It is our goal to empower and inspire the next generation of leaders providing mentorship and guidance to make a lasting impact on the communities they serve through their nonprofit work."

Five recipients will be awarded a $1,000 grant to help improve their community programs.

They'll also receive a year of one-on-one mentoring from a member of NAR's Good Neighbor Society.

The deadline to apply is March 2023.
