We support four areas on Aquidneck Island that work together to create lasting transformation:
Environment: Care for Our Natural Home
We fund projects that connect people with nature and promote environmental stewardship.
Clean water efforts, conservation, green transport, nature immersion programs
The challenge: All nine of Aquidneck Island's drinking water reservoirs are polluted. Raw sewage and toxic runoff threaten our coastal waters.
Wellness: Heal Through Lifestyle Medicine
We support the body's natural healing using holistic, evidence-based programs—both inside and outside traditional healthcare settings.
Health coaching, addiction recovery that treats the whole person, community health programs, lifestyle medicine
The challenge: Rhode Island has high rates of excessive drinking and physical inactivity. Drug deaths jumped 147% between 2010 and 2022.
Arts and
Culture: Express and Connect
Creative expression builds understanding and unity. We fund projects that help people discover themselves and connect with others through the arts.
Art workshops, local performances, cultural events
The challenge: Many residents lack access to cultural programming.
Service & Education: Growing Through Giving
We invest in community-based learning and leadership rooted in service.
Mentorship programs, volunteer networks, leadership training
The challenge: Newport's poverty and unemployment rates exceed national averages.
How It All Connects
These four areas reinforce each other:
Environment grounds us
Wellness builds strength
Arts open hearts
Service channels purpose
Together, they cultivate inner growth that transforms our island—and beyond.
