Investing in people delivers the best return. The Women's Fund helps RIers succeed: Commentary
When faced with an opportunity to make an investment, the main consideration often is whether you're confident it will return more than what is put in. Yet no matter how successful the track record is of a broker or trader, there's never a guarantee that an investment will hit. But what if you were to consider the gains of investing in the betterment of your fellow Rhode Islanders? What if you were presented with information and data indicating the long-term return on those investments could multiply time and time over? I am fortunate each day to have a front-row seat to the transformative nature that's realized by investing in programs and services that empower our neighbors. Seeing how these same investments advance our communities is of equal importance, which, in turn, makes our state better and stronger. There truly are incredible people and organizations doing life-changing work in Rhode Island. Make no mistake, there remains a lack of equity in our state and far too much need among our people. That, however, should not overshadow the lasting change we see by lifting up each other … by investing in each other and in all Rhode Islanders' opportunity for a good life. Nonprofits around the state, like the Women's Fund of Rhode Island, are working each day to highlight and address the most important issues our communities face. That work, investing in every person, is also an investment in family stability, in education, economic and workforce development, and in overall health and well-being. And more than just being the right thing to do, the long-term return is significant, generational. We are all interconnected, even more so in a place like Rhode Island. I will always believe, "When one succeeds, we all succeed."
