Since 2005, APRO members have generously contributed to the RTO [Relief to Our] Employees Disaster Relief Fund, which has dispersed more than $665,000 to those affected by natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and fires. These funds have been instrumental in helping rent-to-own employees recover from devastating events.
Unfortunately, natural disasters can strike at any time. APRO’s membership understands the necessity of being ready to assist our family of RTO employees, with rapid response being critical. Therefore, we established this permanent mechanism to support our members in need.
The fund is administered through APRO’s Charitable Foundation, Inc., a 501(c)(3) organization. All contributions are tax-exempt, and every dollar goes directly to RTO employees in need. To ensure we can provide ongoing support, we encourage APRO member companies to implement a voluntary payroll-deduction program for their employees. This approach creates a sustainable source of funds, allowing us to be ready whenever disaster strikes.
Both recurring and one-time donations are welcome and greatly appreciated. For more information, please email us at info@rtohq.org or call us at (512) 794-0095.
