The Rhode Island Genealogical Society supports two important funds: the dedicated Preservation Grant Fund and the General Fund. As RIGS is a federal 501(c)(3) tax-exempt, nonprofit organization, your donation is fully tax-deductible.

Contributions to the Preservation Grant Fund directly support the care, conservation, and long-term accessibility of historical records and collections throughout Rhode Island, ensuring these irreplaceable resources remain available to researchers and future generations.

Donations to the General Fund help sustain the Society’s ongoing programs, educational initiatives, publications, and day-to-day operations, allowing the Rhode Island Genealogical Society to continue fulfilling its mission of preserving and promoting our shared heritage.
