Rhode Island has no shortage of good projects. What's often missing is the time and capacity to pursue funding for them. That's where we come in — and there's no cost. We're also eager to build partnerships that can accelerate Rhode Island's most important projects.
Grow Blue, made possible by Compete RI, has unlocked a growth opportunity for the next generation of Rhode Islanders through the sustainable use of the ocean and our water assets to create a resilient economy and well-paying jobs.

Who we work with
Municipalities with projects
If your city or town has a project and no bandwidth to chase the funding, reach out.
Philanthropic partners
We're actively building philanthropic partnerships to complement federal funding. If you're a funder interested in Rhode Island, we'd love to connect you to the right projects and partners.
Coalitions and collaborators
Some of our best work happens when we bring people together. If you're building a coalition or looking for a strategic partner, let's talk.
National and regional partners
Rhode Island can't always go it alone. We're always looking for opportunities to connect the state to national networks, resources, and ideas.
A note on the current landscape
Federal funding priorities have shifted and the landscape is more competitive than ever. We're still supporting grant applications — but we've expanded our focus to include philanthropy, CDFIs, and other resources that can move Rhode Island projects forward regardless of what's happening in Washington.
