Five-Year Action Plan

The Foundation's work is guided by our Five-Year Action Plan.

We have undergone a comprehensive effort to solicit community input, aimed at informing an evolved mission and Five-Year Action Plan. Learn more about what we discovered matters most to Rhode Islanders, and how we can best apply our resources and capabilities to address community priorities.

Community Priorities

Addressing Rhode Island's most pressing needs.

Through deep engagement with the public, collaboration with our partners, research, and data analysis, we identified six community priorities that are essential for a thriving Rhode Island. We will continue to address our state's most pressing needs and advance promising solutions, with an eye for equity and a heart for all.

Community Priorities

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Access

Our commitment to advancing equity.

We are committed to advancing equity centered on valuing and embracing diverse identities and experiences and guided by inclusiveness, accessibility, compassion, mutual respect, and humility - in partnership with our team and the community. No one's race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, religion, socio-economic, housing, or justice-involved status should limit their access to opportunity.
