Details:
The fund prioritizes two core areas:
- Grants to community-based organizations that strive to uplift Black Rhode Islanders experiencing low-income. The programs should target financial stability, economic empowerment, and structural inequities. Funded programs may offer support for economic empowerment and financial stability, and may address structural inequities. Funded programs may also support and promote the history and achievement of Black Rhode Islanders and preserve the culture of the Black community.
- Grants to community-based organizations that provide youth development and mentoring opportunities to Black youth. Funded programs may target educational success, avoidance of high-risk behavior, and may encourage positive decision making to achieve higher aspirations.
Funding Information
Requests for up to $15,000 will be considered.
Eligibility Criteria
The Rhode Island Foundation will accept applications from all organizations that advance the purpose of the Fund. Eligible grantees will often support the Black community, but it is not necessary that such grantees exclusively support the Black community, self-identify as a Black community organization, or be led by Black individuals as long as the purpose of the Fund is being advanced by the funded activities.
