Nonprofit and Government Organizations

Daytime Use
The Foundation does not charge a fee for most meetings held by nonprofit or government agencies during the Foundation’s business hours (8:30 AM - 5 PM).

The Foundation charges a $25 “wear and tear” fee per room, however, if food and/or beverages will be in the room (catered or self-provided), and an additional $25/hour for any meeting that begins before 8:30 AM. Scheduling must be made at least two weeks in advance, and full payment, signed contract, and copies of any applicable licenses and insurance certificate must be received within one week of the scheduled function.

There is a $25/hour fee for use of the kitchen(s).

Evening Use
The Foundation is only available for evening use at for-profit rates and requests are subject to approval.

Because the Foundation does not employ staff beyond business hours, all costs of keeping Union Station open at times other than 8:30 AM - 5 PM on workdays must be borne by the organization using the Foundation’s space. Gatherings must be scheduled at least three weeks in advance to ensure staff coverage.

Full payment, signed contract, and copies of applicable licenses and insurance certificate must be received two weeks before the scheduled function.

Note: Liquor and entertainment licenses are required by the City of Providence. Commercial General Liability Insurance ($1 million/occurrence) is required if liquor is served/sold OR if more than 85 guests are expected. Copies of the licenses must be provided to Jeanine Marshall.

Equipment Rental
The Foundation does have a modest amount of equipment it will rent when available. View full list of equipment and costs.

For-Profit Organizations

Rooms are available Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM - 5 PM.  Please contact Jeanine Marshall regarding evening, weekend, and holiday use.
