Support JARC Rhode Island During 401 Gives 2026 — March 31 & April 1!

Rhode Island’s biggest statewide day of giving is back!

401 Gives 2026 offers a powerful way for our community to come together and support the nonprofits that make a meaningful difference across the Ocean State, including JARC Rhode Island.

What Is 401 Gives?

401 Gives is a 24‑hour online fundraising event powered by the Alliance for Nonprofit Impact in partnership with the United Way of Rhode Island. It unites donors, businesses, and community champions around the shared goal of strengthening local nonprofits that deliver vital services to Rhode Islanders. This year’s event runs from 6:00 AM on March 31 to 6:00 PM on April 1, 2026.

Last year, Rhode Islanders raised nearly $5 million for hundreds of local nonprofits, and organizers hope to surpass that fundraising total this year, with your help!
