The Rhode Island Foundation seeks to address the health and healthcare needs of Rhode Islanders by managing and distributing funds from generous donors. These funds are designated for specific medical conditions, aiming to support nonprofit organizations working within these areas to improve health outcomes and address health inequities and disparities across the state.
Responsive Grants aim to address the urgent needs, emerging opportunities, and the testing of new ideas within the community by supporting a wide range of projects across the nonprofit sector. This grant program is open to organizations looking to respond to community needs, whether by introducing innovative solutions or bolstering proven programs, without restrictions on the specific area of focus.
