The mission of the United Way of Rhode Island is to build capacity and provide additional support to non-profit partners within the community, striving to create impactful change through various forms of assistance and collaboration.
The Sponsoring Nonprofit Events grant by United Way of Rhode Island aims to support nonprofit organizations by sponsoring events that align with their strategic plan. The program is open to diverse projects, not strictly limited to their immediate priorities, and reviews sponsorship requests on a rolling basis every month. Applicants are encouraged to apply well in advance (up to 6 months) to secure funding. Despite a relatively small sponsorship budget, the United Way of Rhode Island seeks to support as many organizations as possible and offers additional promotional support through their website and social media channels.
