Ocean State Charities Trust will select from among those applications that respond to priority needs in the Rhode Island Community and are within limits of financial assistance available for distribution by the Trust. Applications will be considered for grant awards by the Board of Trustees twice a year, generally MAY and NOVEMBER. Your organization should plan to have your application completed no later than SEPTEMBER 1 for consideration for NOVEMBER funding. Applications completed September 1 will NOT be considered for this round of funding.

Please note that you may upload ALL financial information to the online application in the agency budget section, provided that your file size is accepted. Up to three (3) documents may be uploaded here. Kindly use this space for your 990, audit or compilation. Effective with passage of a recent bill, only agencies with a budget of $1M+ are required to conduct an independent audit.
