United Way of RI Set to Launch 401Gives Campaign

United Way of Rhode Island (UWRI) has announced the launch of its statewide giving campaign, 401Gives.

The campaign launches as the coronavirus continues to spread across the state.

“Every organization in our state has been affected by the current health crisis and needs help to support the strain on their operations and delivery of services. When we first had the vision to create 401Gives, none of us could have imagined today’s reality. But on April 1, we all have an opportunity to make a gift and make a difference,” said Cortney Nicolato, President and CEO, UWRI.
