Rhode Islanders’ generosity grows beyond expectations, new highs to be set across the board

“We’ve surpassed our goal and are still raising the bar,” said Cortney Nicolato, United Way’s president and CEO. “Rhode Islanders have come out in full force to support their local nonprofits and to get behind the causes that are important to them. We go into every 401Gives with extreme optimism, and right now we’re seeing a level of giving that’s simply incredible. I can’t wait to see where we finish later today.”
