2024 New Funds
The generosity of countless Rhode Islanders has built the foundation we stand on. Because of them, we have state-wide reach and the financial strength to give progress a platform to leap. Every act of giving makes an impact, collectively, they’re a force that shapes our state.
We are grateful to our philanthropic partners who created new funds with us in 2024. In this book you will find a variety of stories that capture the inspiration behind their generosity.
As Rhode Island’s community foundation, we mobilize generosity and motivate change that makes a difference. Because separately, we can have impact; but only together, on a solid foundation, can we build the future we all hope for.
