Organizational Readiness Program Description

The Organizational Readiness Program is a free public program that will see participating groups work with a team of mentors to assess their organization’s capacity to develop a Social Purpose Real Estate (SPRE) project. By the end of the 6-week program, participating groups will have a better understanding of their capacity to develop a SPRE project and an action plan to address any areas needing strengthening.  This program is highly recommended for groups with an interest in joining the Infrastructure Institute’s Accelerator Program.  

Applications will be approved on a rolling basis until we reach capacity, so we encourage you to apply early.
