It’s shaping up to be a fantastic day for our annual golf invitational! We could not be more grateful for our golfers, sponsors, and donors who make the day possible.

We are SO grateful. 💛⛳

Our golf tournament is almost here — joining us June 15th — and none of it would be possible without the generous sponsors, donors, and golfers rallying behind our mission to support people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

We want to take a moment to acknowledge and celebrate every sponsor, donor, and golfer who made this possible. You deserve every bit of recognition.

Thank you for teeing up for something bigger than the game. 🙌

Yesterday's Newport County Challenger Jamboree in Middletown was everything — big league energy, free food, great company, and smiles everywhere you looked. So proud to support a program that makes days like this possible.

This is what inclusion looks like. 💚

Today, we had the privilege of joining Living Innovations - Rhode Island for a Lunch and Learn that left us inspired. 💚

Shared Living Arrangements are a powerful model of care — pairing individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities with host families who open their hearts and their homes. The result? A real home. A real family. A real sense of belonging.

For people with I/DD, that kind of connection isn’t just meaningful — it’s transformative. And for the host families, the enrichment goes both ways.

At the John E. Fogarty Foundation, this is exactly the kind of innovative, person-centered care we believe in. We’re proud to support the organizations across Rhode Island working every day to make inclusion not just a value — but a lived reality.

Thank you, Living Innovations, for the invitation and for the important work you do. 🏡

What an incredible afternoon celebrating the amazing organizations making a difference across Rhode Island.

We were proud to honor the recipients of the Fogarty Foundation’s 2026 Grantmaking Program Awards during our annual Awards Luncheon at the Hope Club.

This year, we awarded more than $356,000 to 54 nonprofit organizations serving over 19,000 individuals and families — marking the largest grantmaking cycle in our Foundation’s history.

To our grantees: thank you for the compassion, dedication, and life-changing work you do every single day to improve and enhance the lives of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

We are honored to partner with you. ✨

A powerful reminder from our friends at LIFE Inc. that every individual brings their own story, strengths, and beauty to the world. Just like no two rocks are the same, each person we serve in the I/DD community has a unique journey that deserves to be seen, supported, and celebrated. We’re grateful for organizations like LIFE that take the time to truly know and uplift each individual—because that’s where real impact begins. 💙
