About Harborone Foundation Rhode Island
The HarborOne Foundation Rhode Island concentrates its giving on education and youth workforce/talent development in Rhode Island, making relatively large, targeted gifts to institutional partners. Its recent grants split between supporting a local child- and family-focused organization’s capital campaign and funding the University of Rhode Island’s talent development program, indicating a preference for capacity-building and programmatic investments rather than many small awards.

About Harborone Foundation Rhode Island
Harborone Foundation Rhode Island’s recent grantmaking is anchored by two repeated commitments in Rhode Island: a $60,000 capital campaign grant to Meeting Street in Providence and a two-year series of $50,000 awards to the University of Rhode Island Foundation & Alumni Engagement for the University of Rhode Island’s talent development program. Those gifts show a pattern of supporting education pathways through both institutional infrastructure and student-facing programming. The foundation also backs organizations that work with children, youth, and families in place-based settings, including school, after-school, and neighborhood-serving partners. Across the recent grants list, the foundation’s awards often land at the $10,000 to $25,000 level, alongside a smaller number of larger commitments. That mix suggests a blend of targeted program support and capacity-building for organizations with defined projects. Providence appears frequently among recipients, but the portfolio also reaches Kingston, Warwick, Pawtucket, Middletown, and Central Falls. Recent awards extend beyond education alone into housing, hunger relief, mentoring, and crisis response, indicating a regional Rhode Island focus with multiple service pathways rather than a single-program strategy.
