Throughout CRE’s strategic planning process, we heard over and over that we were NYC’s best kept secret, and that our look and feel were plain vanilla.

That’s not us, by any means! We wanted our brand and messaging to reflect the spirit of our team, our passion for the work we do, and our intrepid vision and impact.

Welcome to the new CRE - our look matches our approach - we’re bold and innovative, but we’re still your calm, confident, trusted partner.

We aren’t changing our name - in fact, we’re living into each letter of our name more fully. We exist to help strengthen community, to share resources, and to promote the exchange of ideas and support. Think of us as your friendly neighbor who can do the Saturday crossword in 2 minutes – we know what we’re doing, we’ve been doing capacity building for 45 years.

And now we look good while we’re doing it. Come poke around our website, give us a call to share your feedback or to let us know how we can help you out. The one thing that will never change is that we will also be here for you, so that you can grow stronger, reach further, and dream bigger.
