About R2RC
Founded in October 2024 as an independent 501(c)(6)-pending organization, the Right to Rent Collaborative is dedicated to broadening the impact of advocacy within the short-term rental industry. R2RC’s mission is to provide associations with the capital they need to advocate for policy solutions that strengthen the industry, driving towards a vision of 50 fully staffed, always-active state STR associations, 50 connected and coordinated association leaders, and a robust, accessible, and powerful grassroots local membership network. Starting Summer 2025, the organization will begin awarding funds on a grant basis, and in 2026, it will launch a mechanism for ongoing monthly support of alliances. EIN: 99-4676879
