Program areas at The Rhode Island Foundation
Donor designated funds: providing vehicles for donors to make grants to qualified charities by designating a qualified charity.
Strategic grantmaking programs: grantmaking focused primarily on addressing specific priorities within three strategic areas: economic security, education, and health. Grantmaking also supports organizations and projects that are responsive to Community needs in other areas including arts & culture, environment, children & families, and housing. Grants support different approaches including 1) policy, advocacy and systems reform: funding projects that involve research and analysis on pressing issues; advocacy that gives voice to underrepresented groups and promotes institutional change 2)organizational and leadership capacity: funding projects to increase non profit capacity, and 3) innovative models and proven programs: funding projects based on unique research or experience in a field. We seek to expand and sustain programs that are highly effective and produce results. We also operate multiple special grant programs that fund projects that best match donor intent.
Donor advised funds: providing grants to qualified 501c(3) organizations through funds over which donors have advisory privileges.
