Philanthropy is critical to the success of our institution and community. Giving helps provide students with scholarships so they can build academic momentum rather than worry about debt after college. Giving also ensures that students have access to state-of-the-art facilities and supports research and professional development that our faculty bring back to their classrooms.
I give back because I am grateful for all that Rhode Island College did for me and so many others. My four years at RIC provided me with the foundation for further graduate studies and a satisfying and successful career as a school administrator, college professor and nonprofit executive.

The Rhode Island College Foundation is the primary source of private support to the college.
Our premier giving society recognizes individuals and/or couples who have generously given over $10,000 in their lifetime to Rhode Island College. Our namesake pays tribute to the founding of Rhode Island College in 1854, the beginning of over 160 years of high-quality, affordable education in Rhode Island.
RIC Giving Ambassadors are advocates for Rhode Island College. We welcome students, faculty, staff and friends to RIC to become ambassadors. Our mission is to increase participation and giving among the entire RIC community.
These gifts honor individuals and reflect the gratitude of alumni for their years at RIC and are often endowed for the purposes of providing scholarships to students. Some gifts are demonstrations of admiration for former professors while others reflect a desire to assist the college in continuing to fulfill its mission. The income from endowments can be either directed or unrestricted, based on donor requests.
Join us, as we remember and celebrate the life of Mary Ellen Burke Sosa '78.
