Bill > H6153

This resolution recognizes April 1, 2025, as "401Gives Day" in Rhode Island, highlighting a statewide charitable giving initiative designed to support the nonprofit sector. The resolution emphasizes that 401Gives aims to raise over $4.01 million to support local nonprofit organizations, which employ 18% of the state's workforce and provide critical services like education, environmental protection, senior care, and community support. Powered by the Alliance for Nonprofit Impact at United Way of Rhode Island and supported by various sponsors, the event provides a platform for over 600 local nonprofits to share their stories and receive financial contributions. The resolution urges all Rhode Islanders to participate in the day of giving, recognizing that the number 401 represents more than just an area code, but symbolizes community connection and shared purpose. Additionally, the resolution directs the Secretary of State to transmit certified copies of the resolution to key organizations involved in the initiative, formally acknowledging their leadership in advancing philanthropy across the state.
