The Permanent Endowments of The Rhode Island Foundation

Ed Wood
Ed Wood describes the inspiration behind his creative philanthropy, which turns a $1,000 contribution to the Conservation Stewardship Collaborative Endowment into $4,000 for the stewardship of conserved lands in Rhode Island.  
As of December 31, 2008, generous Rhode Islanders had established the 1,140 permanent endowments listed here, growing the Foundation's assets to nearly $455 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.

  • Unr “unrestricted:” donor left the grant to the Foundation’s discretion
  • FoI “field of interest:” donor requested the endowment’s income be directed toward a specific issue or area for grants
  • DA “donor advised:” donors are still actively involved in annual grantmaking

All other funds were designated to benefit the organization listed. To create your family’s legacy, contact the Development Department at (401) 274-4564
