Our Mission

Based in Rhode Island, the Godley Family Foundation is a small grant-making organization with a deep commitment to global health and environmental sustainability. We believe that by partnering with extraordinary local leaders, we can serve as a catalyst for positive change. Our grantmaking focuses primarily in the United States and sub-Saharan Africa. We are also a learning organization, recognizing that those who are closest to the problems are often the most knowledgeable about the best solutions for their community.
