ELI Alumni
Meet the Equity Leadership Initiative alumni, and find out what they're doing now.
The Rhode Island Foundation is committed to advancing equity centered on valuing and embracing diverse identities and experiences and guided by inclusiveness, accessibility, compassion, mutual respect, and humility in partnership with our team and the community.
As a result of a comprehensive Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Needs Assessment, and feedback from the community, our partners, team, and Board of Directors, a Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Access (DEIA) Strategic Roadmap has been developed to guide us as we continue working in partnership with the community to build a more inclusive and equitable future for all Rhode Islanders.
