The Rhode Island College Foundation is the primary source of private support to the college.
The Rhode Island College Foundation is an independent organization dedicated to raising funds for the institution. The Foundation works tirelessly and passionately for RIC, and wishes to thank its donors for the growth and change they effect.
The Rhode Island College Foundation, established in 1965, is a separate 501(c)3 entity that is devoted to raising funds solely for Rhode Island College. The foundation also exercises fiduciary responsibility over endowments and other philanthropic investments made to Rhode Island College.
The Rhode Island College Foundation is the primary source of private support to the college as it achieves its mission to offer accessible higher education of the finest quality to traditional and non-traditional students from around the state, region and beyond.
The Rhode Island College Foundation conducts itself with integrity, appreciates its beneficiaries and works passionately for the enhancement of the college and its students.
Philanthropy is critical to the success of our institution and community. The generosity of others can:
65% of RIC graduates live and work in Rhode Island. Many have built their own Rhode Island-based businesses, enriching the R.I. economy.
