Compete RI is ready…

Compete RI was launched in 2022 to showcase Rhode Island's strengths and bring communities together. The initiative has assisted with over $1 billion in grant applications and received federal recognition for its successful approach to amplifying federal funding opportunities. Beyond that, Compete has connected cities, towns, agencies, and educational institutions to collaborate on the state's future leveraging federal grants and funding opportunities.

We serve as a catalyst for convening and we have hosted funders, federal partners and national organizations in an effort to showcase Rhode Island’s strengths and assets.

As we plan for the months ahead, we will work with partners to build capacity for municipalities and nonprofit coalitions that are advancing innovative projects that benefit Rhode Island.  

Compete RI is a project of Polaris and is grateful for the support of Partnership for RI.
