Your positive impact on the community can endure through changing times, to meet evolving needs.
As you begin to build a legacy of your own, consider supporting the Fund for Rhode Island.
- It is a way for your resources to grow and evolve to help Rhode Island for decades to come.
- A gift of any amount puts you in the company of thousands of donors who have entrusted the Foundation to make discretionary investments for the benefit of all Rhode Islanders.
- We direct grants in innovative, focused, and effective ways, to connect the most pressing needs with impactful solutions.
The challenges we face are often varied and complex.
There will always be need. But it is impossible to know exactly what form it will take in the future and what the best approaches to meeting it may be.
- Our board and staff are active members of the community and have firsthand knowledge of the need and opportunity that exists.
- Your contribution shows an appreciation for the complexities of long-term philanthropy as well as simple love for the place we all call home.
- Make a gift to the Fund for Rhode Island, open a named unrestricted fund, or give through a charitable bequest.
Our Five-Year Action Plan
Through deep engagement and discussion with the public, collaboration with our partners, research, and data analysis, we identified six community priorities that are essential for a thriving Rhode Island.
These priorities were consistently voiced by the community we serve and will guide our efforts in the years ahead. As the state’s community foundation, we will continue to address Rhode Island’s most pressing needs and advance promising solutions, with an eye for equity and a heart for all.
Our vision for the future is clear. We believe in the potential for meaningful impact and are committed to using our resources,
relationships, and knowledge of the community to make Rhode Island a better place for all.
