HOUSE RESOLUTION RECOGNIZING MARCH 31, 2026 AS "401GIVES DAY" IN THE STATE OF RHODE ISLAND
This bill is a ceremonial resolution that officially recognizes March 31, 2026, as "401Gives Day" in Rhode Island to promote charitable giving to nonprofit organizations. It does not create new laws or change government operations but serves to acknowledge and encourage public support for the state's nonprofit sector through the 401Gives campaign. The resolution directs the Secretary of State to send copies of the document to United Way of Rhode Island and other partners involved in the giving initiative. Its primary purpose is to highlight the role of nonprofits in community support and to inspire residents to contribute to these organizations on the designated day.
