Boys & Girls Clubs of Northern Rhode Island
When Partners in Philanthropy attended the groundbreaking ceremony at 600 Social Street in Woonsocket to celebrate the beginning of the renovation phase for a new Clubhouse, we knew this was going to be a special project. Not only would the Clubhouse house a STEAM Center, Culinary Learning Center and space for kids to enjoy art, theatre and music, the facility would revitalize a Woonsocket neighborhood and serve as a beacon for community enrichment for years to come. The "Building Great Futures" Capital Campaign succeeded in doing just that - providing the enhanced space, resources
and programs to give local kids a promising and bright future.
Our consulting relationship was a true partnership. We worked with CEO, Gary Rebelo and Director of Development, Marissa Tuccelli, in identifying an initial working campaign goal of $1.25 million with Navigant Credit Union leading the way with the first gift during the leadership phase. Soon thereafter, we collaborated on soliciting the Board of Directors for their campaign commitments, identified individual and grant prospects, executed our campaign strategy and raised over $2 million in gifts and pledges. Bi-weekly meetings kept us focused and on-track.
Make no mistake - Woonsocket kids are on their way to great futures.
