Growing Communities

Citizens Bank and LISC Rhode Island work together to provide targeted grants ranging from $3,000 - $10,000 to local non-profits engaged in building the resiliency of the community. The Growing Communities program, started locally in 2013, has helped revitalize neighborhoods like Olneyville in Providence, Central Falls and Pawtucket, as well as Newport. The 2023 round will invest in community non-profits located or serving communities in south Providence.

The Growing Communities funding has helped us at a critical time. High-demand jobs that lead to a family-sustaining wage are an essential focus here.
