2019 Annual Report 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. p2 Dear Friends, Contents We’re excited to share the Foundation’s 2019 Annual Report with you.

Rhode Island. p6 p7 To help a city it takes a village By Jennifer Pereira 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. p8 p9 always eat. She understands now that there wasn’t enough food for everyone. “The housing (Tonomy Hill) looked a lot like old military barracks. There was a lot of drug activity, and we weren’t allowed to go outside by ourselves,” Ellen says. She continues, “School was great, and I had very good teachers who sort of took me in. 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. I spent a lot of time by myself. The Boys & Girls Club became like a haven to me.

  • Mary Novak Sand Earlier This Winter Our Athletics Website Featured An
    Mary Novak Sand Earlier this winter our Athletics Website featured an Olympics Blog one article in particular caught my eye. It was a story about the speed skating prowess of one of our more elusive colleagues, Mary Novak Sand. Sequestered away in our beautifully appointed Hubbard Music Center, a lovely and humble woman was eager to discuss not only her experience as a world class athlete, but also her perspective on the winter games and the athletes who compete in them. No feat seems to have daunted this impressive lady, a true Renaissance heroine. A seven‐ time national champion speed skater, Mary was a professor of medical microbiology at the University of Wisconsin, coached the Wisconsin men’s hockey team on speed skating, helped to coach Olympians Beth and Eric Heiden, and was featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine. Mary was elected to the Speed Skating Hall of Fame in 1972. Here on the Island, Mary is more often known as a hard‐working but unassuming music teacher who is the wife of music teacher Bill Sand. I quickly learned what I felt was a remarkable story of dedication and passion as well as a testament to the extraordinary courage an athletes must undertake to commit to their goals and blaze a path for others to follow while being true to themselves: Mary competed in speed skating from 1951 to 1960 and then came out of ‘retirement’ for a short period in the mid '60s, after she was married and she and her husband had their 1st son.
