A message from the President.

September 30, 2025

Dear Friend of the John E. Moran Foundation,

Jerry Ventri, President

The Board of Directors of the Moran Ventre Charitable Foundation has decided to “Sunset” the Moran Ventre Charitable Foundation after 40 years of providing initiatives that benefit people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The Rhode Island Foundation has created the Moran Ventre Charitable Fund to continue our mission.

Effective September 30, 2025 we will no longer be providing grants, or accepting contributions to the Moran Ventre Charitable Foundation.

Grant requests and contributions can be made directly to the Rhode Island Foundation, referencing the Moran Ventre Charitable Fund.

It has been a pleasure to serve as the Foundation’s President over these many years and I am pleased to know that the Rhode Island Foundation will continue the mission of supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Sincerely,

Gerald P. Ventre
President
Moran-Ventre Charitable Foundation
