The Permanent Endowments of The Rhode Island Foundation

As of December 31, 2009, generous Rhode Islanders had established the 1,179 permanent endowments listed here, growing the Foundation’s assets to more than $520 million. Each endowment has a story behind it, a purpose before it. Together, these endowments reflect the collective philanthropy of our many communities.

The following is a list of the endowments at The Rhode Island Foundation with a balance of at least $10,000 or, if established before 1995, a balance of at least $5,000.
