RIC Giving Ambassadors
As RIC Giving Ambassadors, our mission is to increase giving participation among the entire Rhode Island College community. With so many loyal and caring alumni, families, faculty, staff and friends, we are confident we can raise much needed funds to further Rhode Island College’s mission through a variety of initiatives each year.
Volunteers like you – who give and encourage others to do the same – are key to the success of #GivingToRIC. Thank you for joining us as we build a bigger and brighter future for Rhode Island College.
Employees of Rhode Island College can choose to have their donation made directly to the college through the RIC Foundation Payroll Deduction Program.
Gifts of stocks and bonds that have increased in value (and which you have owned for more than a year) provide greater tax benefits than cash gifts and the benefits are two-fold:
- Your charitable deduction is based on the securities’ full fair market value on the day the gift is made, not your original cost.
- You completely avoid all capital gains tax on any appreciation.
To request instructions on transferring a gift of securities, please call the office at 401-456-8460.
Transform your one-time gift into an ongoing commitment to high-quality education. We will automatically bill your credit or debit card each month. This is a budget-friendly way to make your gift to Rhode Island College go further, faster.
Real estate can be used to make a meaningful gift to the College and still provide lifetime benefits to the donor. Many people own real estate that has increased in value several times over the original purchase price. This gain, when realized in a sale, is taxed by the federal government and in some states by the state tax. If the real estate is not used as a primary residence, it does not qualify for the one-time exemption from capital gains tax for owners over the age of 55.
Many companies will match employees’ charitable gifts, sometimes doubling or tripling the donation. Some companies also match gifts from employee spouses and retirees. Please contact the appropriate office in your company. Fill out and return the matching gift form to:
Rhode Island College Foundation

Your gift can be given “in memory of” or “in honor of” a student, graduate, teacher, relative or friend. This type of contribution is a thoughtful way to recognize or remember an individual’s life and accomplishments. Give to an existing endowment or scholarship or call the Foundation today to create one.
