Our 2023 Community Impact Fund Grantees
United Way of Rhode Island is putting $3.2 million in grants to work in the community to create transformational change in the Ocean State. The funding, the first in a three-year grant cycle, was awarded to 43 organizations in support of programs targeting the root causes of the racial inequities that have held back Rhode Island’s Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities for generations.
