Working Together to
Help Newport Thrive
The work of Newport Partnership for Families is Two-Fold.
1 | To Serve as a resource and connector for our community including non-profits, city officials, faith based groups, and residents.
2 | To work together to solve systemic community needs particularly in the areas of education, health, and economic security.
The Newport Partnership for Families (NPFF) is a multi-member partnership comprised of nonprofits, municipalities, faith-based organizations, schools and others focused on the health and well-being of the residents of Newport and Middletown and more broadly Newport County, RI.
