Invest In Impact

As 2023 comes to an end, SEG reflects on how incredibly grateful we are for our partners, alumni, advisors, and donors. SEG continues to expand its reach and impact, growing our community of changemakers, and without all of you, collectively, we wouldn’t be able to continue this important work.

As we look ahead to 2024, we are launching our Invest in Impact campaign to help raise the funds we need to create a more equitable and resilient economy in RI. We appreciate any donation you can make to support this important work!
