About Us:

PVD Promise uses an innovative and comprehensive approach to offer a cohesive means of support to participants. In short, PVD Promise...

Partners with families to help them open 529 CSas for each child in the household and provides $100 in seed funding to each new account. Parents agree to make monthly contributions within their means to CSAs - about 1% of annual income.
Offers an expansive incentive program in which enrolled students and their parents/guardians can earn up to $250 per month towards their CSAs.
Provides community-responsive, multi-disciplinary, and bilingual Family and Youth Engagement programming at no cost to families. Programming supplements the financial foundation families are building by focusing on topics such as financial literacy, academic enrichment, college and career readiness, health and wellness, arts and culture, and more.

PVD Promise is creating a college-going culture within students, their families, and the broader community. In FYE 25, PVD Promise facilitated 100+ workshops, events and meetings for 3,048 cumulative participants (one-third of which was with community partners) - not including hundreds of Youth Mentorship and advising one-on-ones - and provided $168,000 in incentive awards directly to students CSAs. In the future, PVD Promise hopes to bring its highly scalable model to communities across Rhode Island who can benefit.
