| Funding is requested for the ongoing construction project at the Independence Square University of Rhode Island (URI) facility, which houses the URI physical therapy program, among other academic programs, alongside a number of other non-profit care providers. The Foundation helps non-profit organizations expand their ability to provide treatment and services by offering shared facilities. Once completed, the additional space will house the South Kingstown School Department Farm School program for autistic children; the URI Kinesiology Program; the URI Center for Wellness, Research and Education; health care and supportive services for individuals with disabilities; and the expansion of the child care program. The Foundation and its tenants employ about 1,000 people. | |
