Support Us
Doors Open RI is inspired by the belief that it’s through being welcomed inside the hidden gems of our communities—meeting their caretakers and learning their stories—that we become connected to people and place. We take care of and pride in what we know and love. In this sense, we aim to transform our residents into advocates for our built environment and ambassadors for Rhode Island.
We can’t do this alone. While the festival is free for visitors, it isn’t free to organize. Your contributions will pay for programmatic and organizational necessities such as our program series and supplies, event guides, signage, marketing and sta ffing. Your support is the key to making Doors Open Rhode Island a reality.
Please consider joining us as supporters of Doors Open Rhode Island today.
