Description
The Rhode Island Foundation’s Community Partner Resilience (CPR) program supports nonprofit organizations affected by changes in federal funding or federal policy. It responds to shifting needs among nonprofits and the communities they serve, building on the Foundation’s earlier emergency nonprofit support and food assistance efforts.
Funding can support general operations as well as activities that help organizations plan and manage their response to changing circumstances. Supported activities include scenario planning, financial planning, crisis communications, development consulting, and other professional services. The program’s priorities are to address emerging needs and strengthen organizational capacity and resilience during challenging and uncertain times. Organizations are invited to apply as community needs emerge and change.
