Nonprofits

The Foundation works in six key sectors, including the environment.  At a Foundation-hosted meeting of the Coalition for Water Security, Jenny Pereira, grant programs officer, talks with Mark Kravatz, director of sustainable business development for the Apeiron Institute for Sustainable Living.

The Foundation is pleased to partner with organizations that invest in communities across Rhode Island. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we offer many grant opportunities. In particular, we focus on six key sectors: arts and culture, community and economic development, education, environment, health, and human services. Our Initiative for Nonprofit Excellence builds the capacity of nonprofits through education and research. Plus, we manage the endowments of more than 100 nonprofits. If your organization is looking for details about a grant, information about one of our community initiatives, or simply some advice, please contact a member of our grantmaking staff.
