The RCLCO Foundation

Changing Lives Through Initiatives That Provide Affordable Homes

The RCLCO Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization, was formed in 2006 as a means to positively influence the availability and development of affordable housing.

Funding to the RCLCO Foundation is provided by RCLCO, which annually contributes a share of its profits, along with contributions and grants provided by RCLCO team members, alumni, clients, and other organizations who are interested in advancing the cause of affordable housing.

Foundation Advisory Board members include: Gadi Kaufmann, Adam Ducker, Andrew Janko, Kelly Mangold, Michelle Clark, Scot Bommarito, Karl Pischke, Amber Hughes, and Jordan LaMarche.
