Strategies and strength-building
The value of partnerships
We do our work in partnership with generous donors, committed “boots on the ground” nonprofit organizations, and passionate stakeholders and leaders in the community. Through these partnerships, as well as through civic leadership and both fundraising and grantmaking activities, the Foundation is helping Rhode Island reach its true potential.
Focusing on social justice, racial equity
The Equity Leadership Initiative (ELI) intends to cultivate, mentor, and seek access for individuals who identify as Black, Hispanic or Latino, Indigenous, Asian, and multiracial from across sectors to build a pipeline of leaders of color in positions of influence in Rhode Island.
