Many Rhode Islanders make donations to the Council in memory or in honor of a loved one. These gifts are acknowledged with a thank you note to the donor and a letter of acknowledgement to the noted person or family. If requested it can be accepted anonymously.

You can make an annual gift directly benefiting The Council, through the United Way, by writing in the Rhode Island Council on Alcoholism and Other Drug Dependence on your United Way of Rhode Island workplace pledge application.
