Rhode Island Foundation: The results are in for TogetherRI

Thank you again for participating in Together RI! The final results are in, and we are excited to share them with you today.

• To find out, first-hand, about where individual Rhode Islanders see opportunity in our state, and where they identify challenges.
• To create a neutral place for dialogue on topics that are critical to our common future, and a place where divisiveness and polarization was successfully left at the door.

Thanks to the thoughtful participation of so many Rhode Islanders - who shared their experiences, their time, and a meal with us - we collectively accomplished those goals.

As the state's community foundation we will use what we've learned through Together RI to inform our civic leadership efforts. This week we'll begin communicating the results broadly - via local media, and to state and local leaders. We will also encourage our partners - and more deliberately find opportunities ourselves - to create space for civic and civil dialogue, community engagement, and face-to-face connection between Rhode Islanders. And, we will continue to encourage individual Rhode Islanders to get involved, and stay involved in our community - to engage and work alongside other Rhode Islanders to help ensure our collective success.

A selection of the results is available at www.togetherri.org, along with a link to the full report prepared by the talented team of researchers at the URI Social Science Institute for Research, Education, and Policy.

Thank you again for joining us at Together RI!
