To ensure youth have access to the motivational and supportive relationships they need to grow into confident, successful adults.
Mentor Rhode Island the Ri Mentoring Partnership Inc centers its giving on youth mentoring and the support systems around it, with a clear pattern of repeated operating grants to Rhode Island organizations. In the most recent grants, Boys and Girls Club of E Prov received $65,321 in both 2024 and 2025, while Youthbuild received $45,000 in each of those years. Those recurring awards point to a funder that backs organizations over time rather than making only isolated gifts. The foundation’s grant list also shows a strong connection to youth development, education, juvenile justice, and training and technical assistance. Operating support goes to groups working with adolescents, families, and community-based programs in East Providence, Providence, Central Falls, Westerly, and Warwick. Several recipients appear in consecutive years, including Nonviolence Institute, Reentry Campus, Progreso Latino, Segue Institute, As220, Greater Providence YMCA, North End Outreach, Refugee Dream Center, New Urban Arts, and Girl Scouts of Southern Ne. Its public summary emphasizes a goal of helping youth access motivating and supportive relationships that help them grow into confident, successful adults.
Youth mentoring is the clearest thread in the portfolio. The foundation funds community-based organizations that support young people through structured relationships, including $65,321 to Boys and Girls Club of E Prov for operating support and $45,000 to Youthbuild for operating support in both 2024 and 2025. Education and school-connected work also appears in the grant list. Segue Institute received $35,000 in 2024 and again in 2025, while Girls on the Run received $25,000 in 2024. These grants fit a portfolio that includes education, social-emotional learning, and life-skills development. Juvenile justice and reentry are another visible area. Nonviolence Institute was awarded $44,184 in 2024 and 2025, and Reentry Campus received $37,502 in each of those years. The foundation also supports training and technical assistance through the National Mentoring Resource Center.
Typical grant size clusters around a $25,000 median, with a p25 of $18,500 and a p75 of $32,334. The recent list shows a steady pattern of repeat operating support rather than one-time project-only gifts: many recipients appear in both 2024 and 2025 with the same award amounts. The foundation also makes program-related investments. Its geographic scope is local, and it does not fund individuals.
