Key takeaways

If your organisation is a local community-based group working on education success, economic security or capacity building in Rhode Island, New London or Windham, the Foundation's stated priorities fit your work, and you must hold 501(c)(3) tax exemption to be eligible.
Most of its grants fall between $1,000 and $40,000 and half are $5,000 or less, so a modest request is a realistic size; the largest grant in the filing was $250,000, so that band is typical rather than a ceiling.
Apply in one of its three windows (15 December to 16 January, 15 March to 15 April, or 15 September to 15 October), and plan your application well before the deadline.
In the filing, about 60% of grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had also funded in earlier filings, so repeat relationships carry weight, but a first request is still worth making.
Do not apply if you are a fraternal or alumni organisation, a political or religious organisation, a national organisation with a local chapter, or a programme for specific individuals; do not apply for a talent or beauty contest, advertising, travel expenses, a pass-through request, or work outside its service area.
