In just five years, POC has invested $100 million to support more than 350 nonprofit organizations across Rhode Island—organizations both big and small that are providing critical services and driving transformative initiatives in every corner of our state. Our mission has always been clear: to eliminate barriers and create pathways to success for people in need across Rhode Island.

We strongly believe children are our future and that children, regardless of their circumstances, should have high quality music education.

Since 2021, POC has provided vital funding to the Rhode Island Philharmonic, supporting the growth of Victoria’s Dream Project, expanding financial aid at The Music School, and enhancing programs across the state.

This partnership benefits tens of thousands of students in more than 100 schools, as well as hundreds of thousands of concertgoers from every corner of Rhode Island and beyond.
