Since 2016, REALTOR Foundation: RI has raised and received funds for a quarterly grant program that provides charitable support to individuals affected by personal or natural disaster and other non-profit organizations which endeavor to do the same. Five thousand dollars is disbursed each quarter and to date eight Rhode Island non-profit organizations have received REALTOR Foundation: RI grants. Deadlines for grants applications are August 15 at 5 p.m. and November 15 at 5 p.m. Information and application forms can be found on realtorfoundationri.org.
