Furniture requests

Equipment Request

All meeting rooms are equipped with a screen and webcam/mic/speaker. Please be advised that hybrid set-ups in the Rhode Island Room and Gallery are challenging to support due to acoustics in those two spaces – and may not provide the best guest experience. Requests for technology must be included in the room reservation notes at the time of booking.


Cancellation & Disruption Policy

The Foundation has implemented a cancellation and disruption policy for all groups that are confirmed to use Foundation space. Failure to utilize the space for the stated and agreed to purpose, failure to follow the intent of the Room Agreement, reservations of space that goes unused, or cancellations on short notice (see cancellation policy below) create complications for Foundation team members who are responsible for room set up and space reservations, and unnecessarily denies other groups the opportunity to utilize the space at the Foundation.

Cancellation Policy

Cancellations must be made 12-24 hours prior to your meeting. Cancellation notification must be submitted in writing to Jamie Hull at jhull@rifoundation.org.

Disruption Policy

The Foundation reserves the right to deny reservations to groups who consistently failed to utilize the space for the stated and agreed to purpose, failed to follow the intent of the Room Agreement, failed to be present for their reserved time, or who consistently cancel reservations outside of the 12-24 hour cancellation window.

Commitment to Sustainability

The Rhode Island Foundation is committed to increasing overall awareness and organization-wide participation in environmentally sustainable best practices.

  • Please avoid adding leftover handouts or paperwork to mixed recycling bins after events. Paper recycling bins will be available.
