The House Resolution celebrates the 25th anniversary of the Women's Fund of Rhode Island (WFRI), a nonprofit organization established in 2001 that focuses on advancing gender equity in the state. As the only statewide women's fund, WFRI is dedicated to addressing critical issues such as women's health, economic security, and civic participation, emphasizing their interconnectedness and impact on families and communities. The organization utilizes research and data to inform policymakers and advocates, facilitating progress on important topics like paid family leave, caregiving, reproductive health access, and voter engagement.

The resolution acknowledges the significant contributions of WFRI in fostering leadership among women and allies, enhancing civic engagement, and promoting collaboration to develop solutions that benefit Rhode Island families. By recognizing this milestone during National Women's History Month, the resolution honors the legacy and ongoing efforts of WFRI in advancing gender equity. The House of Representatives expresses gratitude for WFRI's work and directs the Secretary of State to send a certified copy of the resolution to Kelly Nevins, the CEO of WFRI.

Introduced by Representatives Fogarty, Ackerman, Carson, Tanzi, Boylan, and Cortvriend on March 03, the resolution has been read and passed in the House.
