Our Board of Directors

Eduardo Marines

Eduardo Marines is the visionary founder of the REALPRO Foundation, whose journey from Rhode Island real estate professional to community benefactor reflects a life built on purpose and service. A longtime realtor and broker in the Ocean State, Eduardo witnessed firsthand how stable communities and vibrant neighborhoods are enriched by access to art and creative expression. That belief became a calling — and from it, the REALPRO Foundation was born. Eduardo established the foundation with a singular mission: to create a platform where local artists could thrive, be seen, and be supported, while simultaneously directing a portion of every transaction toward meaningful community impact. His leadership has shaped every aspect of the organization, from its 501(c)(3) structure to its signature events like the Heart & Fabric Fashion Show. He continues to inspire the board and the broader Rhode Island community with his unwavering commitment to the state's artistic and cultural future.
