The ULI Foundation has announced a $1 million donation from long-time ULI leader and trailblazer in multi-family and residential real estate, James D.

The gift will support ULI’s Advisory Services program, which has provided holistic and tailored land use solutions and best practices to cities and communities for the past 75 years.

Gift extends Stacks’ long history of leadership in ULI, philanthropic support for community transformation, education, and health care

The ULI Foundation Honor Roll recognizes donors based upon their cumulative lifetime giving. The ULI Foundation’s recognition societies honor and thank members and friends who have committed to supporting the Urban Land Institute generously and consistently. Members of these societies enjoy several benefits, including invitations to member-exclusive events and ULI Foundation communications.

Donations to the ULI Foundation support a wide variety of programs, initiatives, and groups, and among the options, donors may choose to
direct their gifts to their local ULI District Council. Three donors who have made recent substantial contributions to their respective District
Councils—Jack Cohen, Marc Pollack, and Greg West—highlight the impact individuals can have on their local communities. Their gifts, ranging from $15,000 to $100,000, enable their local District Councils to advance ULI’s mission priorities and carry out community outreach, all while helping members build relationships and share educational and other resources in their area.

David R. Nelson, the influential founder and leader of a multidisciplined real estate development company and a longtime ULI member, has passed away at the age of 81.

Whether they are increasing representation of women in the real estate industry, educating students and public officials about development, or helping local communities find solutions to their infrastructure needs, the programs that donors support by contributing to the ULI Foundation have a powerful impact.

A $1 million gift from Alex J. Rose, executive vice president for Continental Development Corporation, will help the ULI Foundation establish a $7.5 million endowment to provide long-term funding for its advisory services program, which assembles panels of volunteer ULI members to provide expert advice and recommendations to communities facing land use challenges.

For the past 75 years, ULI’s Advisory Services Program has paired the brightest minds in real estate with the most challenging problems facing our cities. We thank all who volunteered their skills, time, and energy to create a more authentic blueprint for change, identified communities facing urban development and land use challenges, and supported panels through philanthropic giving. Your commitment and dedication have delivered the holistic, creative solutions cities need today. Thank you for being a part of this transformative journey. Together, we shape the future of our cities.
