E&R Trust

Thirty years ago the Education & Research Trust (E&R Trust) was formed to provide support and funds to the National Association of Independent Fee Appraisers for compelling and ground-breaking education for appraisal professionals. As NAIFA grew in size and stature, so did the E&R Trust. The E&R Trust continues to provide funds for future educational programming aimed at educating today's professional appraiser.

Purpose

• To promote research, or conduct research, in the real estate appraisal profession.
• To promote the establishment of better educational standards for the real estate appraisal profession.
