- Weak Keep - Here's what I found: Rhode Island Monthly feature, Providence Monthly feature, Woonsocket Call, bits in Providence Journal here, here, and here, RI Historical Society, GoLocalWorcester, GoLocalProv (admittedly I don't know how reliable these GoLocal sites are -- they look like they're not UGC at least), Providence Business News (rather routine)... and haven't gone through all of the search results yet. Coverage spans years, but it would be good to find more coverage elsewhere (beyond the RI area). It does look like North Carolina State University's Philanthropy Journal tracks their activities, but that's just bits of news. Seems on the edge, but I'll fall on the weak keep side. Any sort of promotional language can be taken care of with editing; it's not in WP:TNT territory. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 05:08, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
- Keep I think my justifying Riverzedge's notablity (i.e. that in addition winning big national grants they have been studied as a model for national organizations, qualifying them WP NONPROFIT "Factors that have attracted widespread attention") sounds a little promotional, but could be tweaked to sound less glowing, say removing stats?
