HOW IS OUR SUCCESS POSSIBLE?
What Propels Our Success?
Our success is made possible through collaboration, dedication, and a shared commitment to the common goal: supporting older adults who wish to age in their homes. The heart of our success is driven by our volunteers, members, donors, and resources, all of which work to make our nonprofit thrive and grow. Together, we thrive.
Volunteers
Our mission is led by the many volunteers who offer their time, skills, and compassion to support our members. Our volunteers make it possible for members to remain in their homes.
Each act of service, big or small, contributes to the relationships formed in each of TVCRI’s villages, strengthening the bonds of mutual support. Volunteering with TVCRI offers flexibility. Our volunteers have the freedom to choose how they wish to contribute, making their involvement deeply personal and meaningful. It is through these acts of kindness that we see the overall effect of helping others, creating a culture where members and volunteers alike thrive together.
Member Engagement and Commitment
TVCRI’s members engage in a variety of ways including attending social events, taking part in educational activities, participating actively in leadership roles, and helping plan activities. It is through this engagement that our members shape the direction and growth of their local villages, ensuring that the services meet their needs. This culture of “members-helping-members” embraces and enhances community support. Members’ enthusiasm, positivity, and gratitude create an environment where everyone feels welcome, appreciated, and valued. Members share their experiences with others, helping to build the reputation of TVCRI through word-of-mouth, inspiring new members to join and engage with us.
Resources: Donations, Dues, and Grants
The resources that sustain TVCRI - donations, membership dues, and grants - are essential to our continued growth and success. Every contribution plays a vital role in ensuring we can provide services, programs, and events that improve the lives of our members. From the social and educational events hosted (both in-person and via Zoom) to the everyday support our volunteers provide, TVCRI’s ability to stay responsive to the needs of our members relies on these resources. We are extremely grateful for the generosity of our donors and the commitment of our members and volunteers who keep this important work moving forward.
Growth
Our growth is a reflection of the relevance of TVCRI’s mission. As we continue to expand across Rhode Island, currently serving communities including Aquidneck Island, Barrington, Burrillville, Edgewood, Glocester, Providence, and Westerly, our ability to serve more individuals and offer even more opportunities for engagement is valuable. Aside from the numbers, growth is about the deeper connections and shared experiences that strengthen our villages. The positive outcomes of services, the expanding reach of the villages, and the growing network of volunteers and members all demonstrate that we are meeting an essential need and providing a better way of aging at home. As we continue to grow, we remain committed to providing a better experience for aging, where mutual support and the strength of commitment are the driving force behind what we do.
