PBN: What is the Realtor Foundation: Rhode Island?
TEDESCO: The foundation is a 501(c)(3) arm [of the Rhode Island Association of Realtors]. The foundation … provides resources to help enrich communities by offering financial and other forms of assistance. What happened was … they originally set it up … to [help those affected by] flooding in [2010]. … Its original purpose didn't have the 'enriching communities' piece. It was just for those affected by personal or natural disaster. We were finding it was hard to proactively go out to the community with just that mission, because it was more reactive when it was created. We adapted and revised the statement of purpose to include 'enriching communities.' ”
