Many students arrive at RIC fueled by ambition and hope–determined to transform their futures and uplift their communities. With more than 70% relying on financial aid, your support is crucial in helping them stay on track and graduate with confidence–not debt. Thank you for considering giving to RIC!
We aim to secure and manage the money needed to ensure that each RIC student has the best possible educational experience. Our team includes fundraisers, stewardship and engagement officers, and finance experts. We work in tandem with the Alumni Association and the College to engage alumni and the community through volunteerism, events, and philanthropy.
