Details:
For each priority, they have developed a set of impact targets and strategies that their available grant resources can most effectively address. To be sure your work aligns with them, please read more here:
- Economic Security: Economic security for all Rhode Islanders is within reach, if they work together. At the Foundation they believe that all Rhode Island households should be financially stable, and they are working to invest funds and provide resources beyond grantmaking to encourage just that.
- Educational Success: Rhode Island’s children will succeed with learning opportunities and learning environments that inspire success. They are working to invest funds and provide resources beyond grantmaking to encourage just that.
- Healthy Lives: Well being – from head to toe – is something everyone deserves. At the Foundation they believe that all Rhode Islanders should have access to better health care at lower costs, and they are working to invest funds and provide resources beyond grantmaking to encourage just that.
They make Strategic Initiative Grants for program support, organizational development and capacity building efforts, and advocacy or systems reform initiatives. They provide general operating support to organizations that are central to progress in one or more of the three strategic priorities described above. They rarely commit to multi-year grant awards.
Eligibility Criteria
They recognize there are meaningful efforts and entities without a 501(c)(3) IRS designation that align with their funding priorities. In these cases, they will consider grant applications from groups utilizing a fiscal sponsor that does have a 501(c)(3) IRS designation.
