The REALTOR® Foundation: Rhode Island offers quarterly grants of up to $5000 to non-profit organizations that provide financial and other forms of assistance to Rhode Islanders affected by a personal or natural disaster. The deadline for the third quarter application cycle is August 15th at 5 pm.

Since its inception, the Foundation has provided more than $100,000 to dozens of organizations across Rhode Island. During this year’s second-quarter grant cycle, the REALTOR® Foundation: Rhode Island received an overwhelming number of grant applications following its participation in 401Gives Day, a statewide day of giving on April 1st powered by the United Way of Rhode Island.

“We’re proud to have supported local nonprofits during 401Gives Day with our $1200 'That's Who We R' prize.  401Gives is a great opportunity for everyone to learn more about the important work that our nonprofit community is doing. It was also the perfect platform for us to build awareness about the Foundation’s quarterly grant program,” said Phil Tedesco, CEO of RI REALTORS® and The Realtor Foundation: Rhode Island.  

A total of $5,000 was distributed to 10 local organizations during the second-quarter cycle.
