Catholic Foundation of Rhode Island

The Catholic Foundation of Rhode Island (CFRI) is a non-profit that ensures long-term financial stability for charitable, religious, and educational institutions within the Catholic community of Rhode Island. Through disbursements from its endowed funds, the foundation actively supports non-profit organizations that have made a lasting difference in local communities. These initiatives not only address immediate needs but also contribute to the corporal and spiritual work of the Catholic Church, ensuring that its mission continues to flourish throughout Rhode Island. Over the years, CFRI has made significant decisions to invest its assets solely in socially and morally responsible funds, enabling the foundation to grow steadily in size and scope. Our Mission: Heeding the Gospel’s call to action, the mission of the Catholic Foundation of Rhode Island is to perpetuate the charitable giving of Rhode Island Catholics.
