Dear ICSC Foundation Friends,
An enormous thank you for your support this past year! 2015 was a year of
transformative work for the ICSC Foundation because of you. This annual
report aims to capture the richness of our programs and to illustrate the lives
we have impacted.
Since 2007, the ICSC Foundation has invested nearly $1.5 million in retail real
estate education and $350,000 in grants to global charities that partnered
with our members in community campaigns. In 2015, we launched new
collaborations and deepened our investments to strengthen the impact of our
work. The pages that follow highlight some of the faces and the stories that
make up the ICSC Foundation.
Our goal is and always has been to effectively grow the foundation to meet the
needs of the industry. With that in mind, the ICSC Foundation is implementing
its most ambitious strategic initiatives to date. Our priorities over the next
three years will be to increase awareness, reach our resource potential and
create exceptional programs.
We have no doubt that with your support, enthusiasm, commitment, ideas and
economic resources, we will continue to advance retail real estate education
and further engage, promote and recognize those industry contributors who
make their communities a better place. This is our commitment to you.
Because of you, we are realizing our mission with passion and purpose.
With appreciation,
Elise Jaffe, CRX
