Established in 1979, the CCRI Foundation has emerged in recent years to become a vital resource to the Community College of Rhode Island. The mission of the CCRI Foundation is to secure monies for the Community College of Rhode Island through dynamic campaigns and public awareness of the College’s value to the community.

With state support counting for only 57 percent of educational expenses, CCRI depends on the Foundation to provide for capital improvements, programs and activities not covered by state funding. Gifts to the CCRI Foundation help underwrite the cost of scholarships, cutting edge technology, professional development awards, campus beautification, and innovative programming.
