Are you a non-profit?
We are a registered 501c4- A 501c4 is defined as a Social Welfare Organization.

Where is the money going that was raised for the house tour?
The money raised during our first house tour is going towards getting our 501c4 set up, items we need for future walks & talks, events, as well as hopefully a 501c3 branch that we plan to have. The 501c3 will allow people to donate as a tax write off, and those funds will help us give back to members of the community. More details on this coming soon!
-
Who elected you?
Well, nobody elected us, we just happened to be friends, family, neighbors or aquaintances that shared a passion for preservation in our neighborhood. After our initial set up, we plan to allow other members of the community to join our board and fill our positions if desired!

Are you affiliated with any other of the groups within Rountree?
No, we are all separate entities that exist to serve our community. However, we believe in our community and gladly support their programs, events and fundraisers. That’s part of the beauty of living in Rountree!

How do you determine your Walk & Talk Series topics?
For right now, we choose the subjects we feel will be most informational to the community. At future events, we hope that we can get input from various members of the community and cover those topics they are interested in!

Do you only serve the Rountree neighborhood?
No- We serve the entire community, we are called the Rountree Council for Preservation because that’s where we started. We support all neighboring communities and hope to educate and preserve throughout our beautiful Queen City!
