The Foundation, established through Emma G. Harris' 1922 will, aims to fund institutions that provide technical, industrial, household, or domestic training recognized by the Rhode Island Board of Education. Harris believed supporting education in these areas was a commendable goal, focusing on the practical training of boys and girls.
The grant supports vocational or job skills training programs for youth and young adults ages 14 to 24. This process involves a Letter of Inquiry certified by the Rhode Island Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, followed by an invitation for a full proposal from certified applicants. The initiative emphasizes the development of practical skills to prepare young individuals for the workforce, ensuring the supported programs are in line with the Harris Foundation's mission to facilitate technical and industrial education among young individuals in Rhode Island.
