Place-based investing for social impact

A pilot project to provide affordable homes to middle income households, efforts to more effectively serve Rhode Islanders with behavioral health and substance use emergencies, and construction of a community-owned co-op grocery store in the West End of Providence, a federally recognized food desert.

These are just a few of the Foundation's impact investments to date. They enable us to align financial investments with our mission, to deploy more of our capital to benefit Rhode Island, and to support larger scale and/or different kinds of projects than we typically do through our grant programs.
