THE NANCY H. GEWIRTZ FUND for THE POVERTY INSTITUTE 

In 2005, an endowment was established in memory of the Institute’s beloved co-founder, Nancy Gewirtz.  Your contribution will provide a perpetual source of annual income for The Poverty Institute.  The Fund is managed by the Rhode Island Foundation, which has a national reputation for financial performance.  All gifts to the Fund are tax-deductible.
