Priorities

Across all three of the Foundation's strategic initiatives - Economic Security, Educational Success, and Healthy Lives - we are focused on:

  • The places where the three intersect. True progress in one is not possible without progress in all three.
  • Statewide investment, with priority placed on investments that will break down the barriers that hold back low income Rhode Islanders and Rhode Islanders of color.
  • Supporting cultures of civic engagement and philanthropy within these three areas, and across our state. Both are proven drivers of sustainable change.
