Benefits of Giving
 |
| The Hough family established a fund at the Foundation in 2007 as part of their commitment "to the importance of service." | Why should you give through The Rhode Island Foundation rather than directly to a specific nonprofit organization? Here are five benefits of working with us:
-
A Living Memorial
You choose the name and purpose of the fund you create, leaving a permanent legacy for yourself or those you honor.
-
Grantmaking Expertise
Our staff has an in-depth knowledge of the challenges and opportunities in Rhode Island. We can help you make informed giving decisions.
-
Creative and Easy Ways to Give
From simple cash gifts to complex trust arrangements, we offer you abundant choices to make Current Gifts, Deferred Gifts, and Life Income Gifts. We work with you and your professional advisor, if you choose, to identify your best giving option.
-
Maximum Tax BenefitsYour contributions qualify for the maximum allowable deduction for income, gift, and estate tax purposes since the Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public charity, as classified by the Internal Revenue Service.
-
Administrative costs cover all Foundation services, including the management of your fund.
