Grants for Nonprofits in Rhode Island
Rhode Island launched a state Grant Management System with eCivis in 2022, and applications for most state grant programs are moving onto it as agencies switch over. Applicants and subrecipients create an account through its portal login. GrantCue reads the state's open grants list on the eCivis Grants Network.
The Rhode Island State Council on the Arts posts its open grants with opening dates and deadlines, including Big Yellow School Bus grants that help schools pay for arts and culture field trips. Rhode Island's community foundations run separate grant cycles.
