2019 Annual Report

p1 April 2020

To our partners:

Times have changed dramatically here in Rhode Island — and around the world — since the end of 2019; we are in the midst of an unprece- dented health and economic crisis. Community foundations are poised to respond in times like these, as both immediate and long-term needs present themselves.

In mid-March, we established the COVID-19 Response Fund which has deployed — and will continue to deploy — financial resources to nonprofit organizations that are on the front line of COVID-19 response for our state. We will continue to stay connected to the community and to use all of the tools at our disposal to respond with urgency, and with an eye toward our state's collective, long-term success.

Be well.

While the Foundation has three strategic initiatives — economic security, educational success, and healthy lives — none of those exist in a vacuum. They are all interwoven in our communities and in our daily lives, with change in any one of them affecting the others. The following story illustrates how nonprofit organizations from different fields in just one part of our state are working together to improve the lives of their residents. We are proud to support their efforts.

They knew more about my background than I did.” But when she moved to another, now-closed elementary school in Newport, she notes, “I didn’t do well. I was the only brown kid at the school.
