The resolution recognizes April 1, 2025, as "401Gives Day" in Rhode Island, a significant event aimed at raising over $4.01 million to support the state's nonprofit community. This initiative, which is the largest single day of giving in Rhode Island, encourages citizens to contribute to local nonprofits that play a crucial role in the state's economy and social fabric, employing 18% of the workforce and providing essential services across various sectors, including education, environmental protection, and arts and culture. The event highlights the importance of these organizations, especially during crises, and aims to foster community engagement and generosity among Rhode Islanders.

The resolution also acknowledges the efforts of the Alliance for Nonprofit Impact at United Way of Rhode Island and various sponsors who are committed to amplifying philanthropic engagement through matching funds. By designating 401Gives Day, the House of Representatives urges all Rhode Islanders to participate in supporting local nonprofits, thereby strengthening their communities and enhancing the overall well-being of the state. The Secretary of State is tasked with transmitting certified copies of the resolution to relevant organizations and sponsors to recognize their contributions to advancing philanthropy in Rhode Island.
