The Empowerment Factory is currently seeking sponsors for our Annual Fundraiser Event on May 21, 2025 at The MET in Pawtucket, RI. Co-chaired by John Hazen White Jr., executive chairman of Taco Comfort Solutions, and the company’s CEO, Cheryl Merchant, all proceeds raised through ticket sales and the online auction will ensure that The Empowerment Factory is able to continue its high-need community programs for Rhode Island at-risk youth.
Support The Empowerment Factory’s mission to help children develop the skills they need to lead happier, healthier, more empowered lives with your sponsorship of a program, project, or event.
We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides community youth programming to over 1,500 families each year in low-income areas of Rhode Island (e.g. Pawtucket, Central Falls, and Providence), working directly with government offices, school departments, and elementary schools. Since 2024, The Empowerment Factory has served over 8,500 children and their families.
Programming is geared toward elementary age children and engages the entire family in hands-on art and literacy activities that build bonds and connect community members. 78% of the families we serve are low-income and in need of accessible community resources.
Thank you to our featured sponsors!
