Approximately $670,000 in grant funding has been awarded to multiple Cranston-based organizations as part of the most recent round of awards from The Champlin Foundation.

Across the state, the foundation has approved approximately 200 grants for a total of $18 million.

“We are proud to support community-based and frontline nonprofit organizations in Cranston and across Rhode Island. Our state is stronger because of its tight-knit, determined, and passionate community of charities and service providers. This year is particularly exciting because we’re able to award grants to 31 first-time recipients,” said Nina Stack, the foundation’s executive director, said in a statement.

“Since 1931, the Champlin Foundation has invested more than half a billion dollars to support capital projects at Rhode Island nonprofit organizations. Over that time, we’ve helped advance youth development, care for the elderly and sick, preservation of cherished buildings, protection of parkland and open space, and improved access to health care and social services.”
