Opportunity Overview
The Washington Trust Charitable Foundation, based in Rhode Island, is currently accepting proposals from eligible 501(c)(3) organizations in Washington Trust’s market area, expressly including Rhode Island. The Foundation considers support for hospitals, health and human service organizations, youth and family services, colleges, universities and libraries, along with affordable housing, economic development, arts and culture, and conservation.
Funding and Deadline
The controlling Washington Trust page states that charitable grants vary widely in size and that multi-year grants are often considered for capital funding, capital campaigns, or specific projects. It does not publish a maximum applicant award, a total 2026 funding pool, or an anticipated number of awards.
Proposals for the current round must be submitted by October 1, 2026 for annual review in December. Grant decisions are communicated in January. The controlling public page does not publish an exact submission time or time zone.
Eligibility and Geography
Applicants must be 501(c)(3) organizations within Washington Trust’s market area, which includes Rhode Island, Massachusetts and southeastern Connecticut. For this Atlas Rhode Island lane, realistic applicants include Rhode Island nonprofit hospitals, community health and human-service organizations, youth/family nonprofits, and eligible colleges or universities.
Application and Compliance Requirements
Applications are submitted through the Foundation’s linked Kadince online application portal. The publicly accessible Washington Trust page does not state a mandatory non-Federal match or cost share, detailed eligible/ineligible cost schedule, procurement/vendor requirements, required registrations, required references, or a complete attachment checklist. Those items should be confirmed in the live portal before an applicant commits to a project or budget.
Program questions may be directed to Dennis Algiere, Executive Vice President, Chief Compliance Officer and Director of Community Affairs, at charitable@washtrust.com.
Technology and Dr. Miltie Relevance
N9+ Fit Score: 58/100 conditional. The Nonagon N9+ remote physical examination platform may be a legitimate component only when an eligible Rhode Island 501(c)(3) healthcare organization defines a specific clinical-access or capital project and Washington Trust confirms that the technology cost is allowable. The public guidance does not specifically name telehealth or remote-exam technology, so N9+ should not be assumed eligible or forced into a proposal.
QC Healthcare Fit: 28/100 conditional. QC Healthcare or other Dr. Miltie capabilities could be relevant to an eligible applicant’s specific health-service project only if the Foundation confirms the proposed service or project cost is allowable.
Atlas Assessment
Atlas Opportunity Score: 78/100. This is a currently open, Rhode Island-accessible foundation opportunity with explicit healthcare/human-services and education-related funding interests and a practical window for applicant qualification. Its score is moderated by the absence of a published maximum award, total funding amount, exact deadline time/timezone, and detailed public cost rules.
Dr. Miltie, LLC is not a verified direct eligible applicant because the Foundation limits applicants to 501(c)(3) organizations. The appropriate path is applicant-led through a qualifying Rhode Island nonprofit, with Dr. Miltie participating only where the applicant and Foundation independently support an allowable project role.
How to Apply
Use the online application linked from Washington Trust’s official Charitable Giving page. Confirm all portal-specific fields, attachments, budget requirements, and project-cost allowability before submission.
