Newport County Fund Grants

Common Fence Music
NCF grantee Common Fence Music developed Connecting the Beats, an exploration of African and Afro-Caribbean music in Rhode Island, in collaboration with the Boys and Girls Clubs of Newport County, East Bay Met School, Jamestown Teen Center, and Portsmouth Action for Youth.

 

The Newport County Fund offers competitive grants through two distinct programs:

Small grants, which range from $1,000 to $10,000, are awarded where a relatively small amount of money can be of strategic assistance to a nonprofit organization serving one or more of the six cities and towns of Newport County. Learn more about NCF Small Grants.

Our second grant program is our Common Ground Grants program. This initiative promotes regional collaboration by encouraging organizations to identify common ground in meeting the diverse needs of Newport County. Grants will support creative collaborative projects that cross institutional boundaries and the borders of Newport County’s six cities and towns. Learn more about NCF Common Ground Grants.
