Community Impact Fund – United Way of Rhode Island Good Neighbor Energy Fund The Community Impact Fund from United Way of Rhode Island supports initiatives that address the root causes of systemic inequalities and improve economic, educational, and health outcomes for communities across Rhode Island.

By pooling donations from community members, the fund targets programs that promote social justice, equity, and basic needs such as housing, food security, and quality education. It also invests in workforce development, helping individuals gain job skills, find employment, and achieve financial stability.

Through partnerships with local nonprofits and community organizations, the fund aims to create sustainable change and empower under-resourced communities throughout the state. We’re investing in affordable housing, improving care coordination, expanding access to adult education and job training, and supporting the growth and stability of women- and minority-owned businesses.

We’re working to ensure all Rhode Island children go to school with the tools to learn, increasing literacy levels, and expanding access to afterschool and summer learning programs. We’re building nonprofit resiliency and leadership development, empowering donors, engaging corporations, and connecting Rhode Islanders with volunteer opportunities.

We’re driving systemic change through public policy and research, training Rhode Islanders to be advocates, and working to increase voter turnout throughout the state.
