Welcome to the Rhode Island Foundation Online Application System for grants and scholarships. To apply, please click on the appropriate link below, noting that some programs may have their own unique application link.

Please note that we have transitioned to a new grant application system. All returning and first-time applicants will need to create a new account by clicking here.

Some of our grant programs now require the completion of the Small Grant Programs application. The programs for which this application is required are noted under the Small Grant Programs heading in the new grants portal.

For the remainder of the year, reports for grants that were awarded prior to 2024 will continue to be accepted in our former system. Returning users should log in to their current account here to meet reporting requirements.

For more information, please visit our Grant Program FAQs page or contact Ian Ross at iross@rifoundation.org. Si tiene preguntas o prefiere ayuda en español, por favor de comunicarse con Zaida Hernandez ZHernandez@rifoundation.org.

*If you are applying for an Opioid Settlement Impact and Recovery Grant, applications continue to be accepted through our former grants portal. If you have an existing application in progress, you will NOT be required to create a new account. If you are a new applicant for this grant program, please follow the prompts within the grant opportunity to create your account.

Most of our scholarships now require the completion of a universal eligibility quiz and application. Please complete the eligibility quiz for your chosen program and, if you are eligible, you will be guided to the application. To be considered for a scholarship, please be sure to complete and submit both the eligibility quiz and application.
