Nonprofit organizations that serve residents of Newport County s six cities and towns have until Feb. 11 to apply for more than $270,000 in grants from the Rhode Island Foundation. The funds provided by the Newport County Fund grant program focus on serving the distinct needs of the residents of these communities. Working with partners that have a presence in Newport County communities provides the structure and context to address local priorities, said Adrian Bonéy, who oversees special programs for the Foundation.
The Newport County Fund (NCF) offers grants of up to $10,000 to develop new programs, to strengthen or expand established programs and for municipal planning or leadership. Applicants should focus on significant problems or opportunities, strategic partnerships or collaborations, innovation and measuring results.
