United Way of Rhode Island

Our team joined the Sojourner House's 14th Annual Enchanted Forest Masquerade ball. 🌿🧚♂️ 🪄This magical evening stood up against violence with music, laughter, and whimsical entertainment. We enjoyed cake tasting, photo booths, and live music. Thank you for having us!

As an organization, we have made the decision to take an indefinite break from X, as the platform is no longer part of our social media strategy. This decision aligns with our commitment to building a stronger and more equitable Rhode Island for all. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/esvaedEp

We're proud to support local organizations like R.A.M.P. (Real Access Motivates Progress) in making Rhode Island a more equitable place for all. Their new "R.A.M.P. Approved" website highlights accessible businesses, events, and locations across the state.   The RAMP Stamp of Approval signifies a commitment to inclusivity, ensuring spaces are accessible for individuals with disabilities, the elderly, and families with children. By displaying this stamp, organizations foster a stronger, more welcoming community.   We are proud to be the first organization to receive the Ramp Stamp of Approval #YAY! A special thank you to Tina Guenette RAMP real access motivates progress from one of our #TeamUnited members Nancy Wolanski, Executive Director of the Alliance for Nonprofit Impact.

As temperatures drop, we're proud to announce the opening of the Rhode Island Good Neighbor Energy Fund (GNEF) for 2024-2025. This fund helps local households facing heating costs but who don’t qualify for federal or state assistance.   Greg Cornett, Chair of the GNEF and President of Rhode Island Energy, along with our very own President and CEO, Cortney Nicolato, MS, recently received initial donations to kick off this vital program.   To determine eligibility, Rhode Islanders can contact a Community Action Program (CAP) agency. For assistance finding your nearest CAP agency or for general questions about the Fund, call United Way’s 211 helpline.
