The Charles E. Maynard Endowment Fund for the Future

In 2004, The Providence Center's Board of Trustees embarked upon a $1 million campaign to establish The Charles E. Maynard Endowment Fund for the Future at The Rhode Island Foundation.  The endowment was named after The Providence Center's founder and CEO Charles E. Maynard upon his retirement after 36 years of service.  The fund ensures that The Providence Center will continue to develop innovative treatment for Rhode Islanders in need.
