INSPIRED BY HOPE

As REALTORS®, we have dedicated our lives to assisting thousands of Rhode Island families in obtaining the ultimate American dream of home ownership. For some families that dream is not easily obtainable. To answer that need, the REALTOR® Foundation: Rhode Island assists eligible families and individuals that need help with home purchases, home repairs, and other housing-related needs. However, our commitment to giving back goes well beyond housing related initiatives.

Throughout the foundation’s history, REALTORS® have also worked to support Rhode Island’s charitable organizations and in doing so, has helped enrich all Rhode Island communities.
