The June Rockwell Levy Foundation concentrates its giving locally in Rhode Island, supporting community institutions that strengthen children and families, basic needs, and cultural life across the state. Grants favor arts and culture organizations, K–12 educational programs and access (including college readiness and scholarship supports), and safety-net health and human services, with an emphasis on program support for longstanding local partners. The foundation appears to prioritize place-based impact—public libraries, town initiatives, regional cultural anchors, and frontline service providers—often funding repeat grantees and projects that serve youth and vulnerable populations.
A defining feature of June Rockwell Levy Foundation Incorporated’s giving is its repeated support for Rhode Island institutions that serve children, families, and basic-needs needs. In the recent grants list, that pattern appears in multi-year support for Amos House in Providence, Lincoln School in Providence, and Connecting for Children and Families in Woonsocket, alongside grants to community-based groups in Burrillville, Smithfield, and other Rhode Island towns. The foundation’s work is place-based and practical: education, food access, health services, housing stability, and arts organizations all appear in the portfolio. Several grants show how the foundation backs both direct service and community infrastructure. It supported Rhode Island Community Foundation to establish a designated fund and a refugee relief fund, gave to Revive the Roots for arts and culture and for the acquisition of the historic Mary Mowry House and 5.27-acre property, and funded Providence Public Library for educational success and education. The grantmaking also reaches schools and clinics, including Burrillville Public Schools and Wellone Primary Medical and Dental Care. Across the list, the foundation favors local organizations that anchor services in Rhode Island communities.
Education is one of the clearest themes in the portfolio. June Rockwell Levy Foundation Incorporated gave $60,000 to Town of Burrillville for educational success, $40,000 to Lincoln School for educational success, and $25,000 to Providence Public Library for educational success. Basic needs and emergency support are another recurring area. The foundation awarded $45,000 to Amos House for general support, emergency services and food insecurity programs, $35,000 to Rhode Island Community Food Bank for general support, and $30,000 to Clinica Esperanzahope Clinic for basic human needs. Arts and culture also receive steady attention. Grants include $67,000 to Revive the Roots for arts and culture, $30,000 to Stadium Theatre Foundation for arts and culture, and $25,000 to Riverzedge Arts Project for arts education and training. The foundation also funds health-related access, including $25,000 to Rhode Island Free Clinic for access to comprehensive care for at-risk adults and $25,000 to Tides Family Services Inc for the Latino behavioral health project.

Concentrated, place-based giving with many repeat multi-year or multiple grants to the same local organizations; a mix of mid-size grants (several $40k–$115k awards) and targeted larger commitments to municipal/community projects. Funding is program-focused and operationally supportive rather than nationally distributed, favoring sustained relationships over one-off donations.
Notable grantees: Town of Burrillville, Amos House, Lincoln School, WaterFire Providence, Rhode Island Free Clinic

The recent-grants list shows occasional larger awards, but most grants stay at modest program-support levels. The pattern also points to continuity: several organizations appear in multiple years, including Amos House, Lincoln School, Rhode Island Community Food Bank, Connecting for Children and Families, Stadium Theatre Foundation, Providence Public Library, and Revive the Roots. The foundation appears to give through direct grants to operating nonprofits, schools, and public institutions rather than through individuals or program-related investments.

Woonsocket, Burrillville/Harrisville, Smithfield, and West Warwick also recur, showing a statewide local reach rather than a single-city focus. Non-Providence grants include Pascoag and Harrisville, extending into northern Rhode Island.
