The Rhode Island PBS Foundation is a not-for-profit organization founded in 1987 to raise funds and provide supporting services to Rhode Island PBS. The Rhode Island PBS Foundation provides approximately 58% of the operating budget of Rhode Island PBS. Funds are raised through Rhode Island PBS viewer support, Art & Antique, Wine, and General Merchandise Auctions, Corporate Underwriting, and Special Events.
Among
services funded through The Rhode Island PBS Foundation is Rinet36, a
cost-free Internet dial-up access service for teachers and classrooms
throughout Rhode Island. Established with privately raised funds, Rinet36
augments the station's operations and allows teachers to access the Internet
from home as well as from school.
