BankRI awards $94K in grants to local nonprofits
BANK RHODE ISLAND has awarded $94,750 in grants to 38 local nonprofits for various initiatives.
PROVIDENCE – Bank Rhode Island recently announced that it has awarded $94,750 in grants to 38 local nonprofits for various initiatives.
The funding helped organizations offer support to the community in multiple ways during the COVID-19 pandemic.
BankRI CEO and President Mark J. Meiklejohn said in a statement that it is clear that many Rhode Islanders continue to struggle with their lives during the pandemic and it’s particularly true of those who are helped by the organizations that received grant funding.
A proposed tax exemption for La Salle Academy in Providence was scaled back Tuesday before passing the Rhode Island Senate over the objections of some Democratic lawmakers.
La Salle sought the exemption after receiving a property-tax bill, the first in its 150-year history, for part of its 26-acre Mount Pleasant campus last year.
It was one of two private schools identified by Providence Mayor Jorge Elorza s administration last year as falling outside blanket exemptions in state law and without its own special exemption.
If the La Salle bill is signed into law, the only other private school known to be facing a tax bill would be Community Preparatory School in South Providence.
