Established in 1965, the Foundation is a separate 501(c)3 entity that also exercises fiduciary responsibility over endowments and other philanthropic investments made to Rhode Island College.
The Rhode Island College Foundation is an independent organization dedicated to raising funds solely for the institution. It is the primary source of private support to the college.
We strive to offer accessible higher education of the finest quality to traditional and non-traditional students from around the state, region and beyond. We pledge to act with integrity, to appreciate our beneficiaries, and to work passionately for the enhancement of the college and its students.
