Neil Steinberg was highlighted in Rhode Island Monthly as one of the 45 most influential Rhode Islanders for his philanthropic work. As president and CEO of the Rhode Island Foundation from 2008 to this May, he brought profound changes to the state’s nonprofit sector. The magazine states: “Since 2008, his contributions to the Foundation’s growth have increased its assets more than three times over and he’s overseen grant awards of more than $700 million. He’s also been at the head of some of RI’s most important initiatives, overseeing the launch of the Foundation’s Equity Leadership Initiative and gathering input to advise state leaders on how to spend $1.1 billion in American Rescue Plan Act funds. Wherever he spends his time next, you can be sure he’ll have the ear of the state’s biggest power brokers.”
