The Providence Foundation announced Tuesday that former Providence City Council President David Salvatore will be its new executive director.
“I am honored to be named the next executive director of The Providence Foundation,” Salvatore said in a press release. “This role allows me to fully focus on our dynamic capital city —a place I call home, love dearly and have always been passionate about.”
The executive director before Salvatore was Cliff Wood, who served from 2017 until the end of 2023. A search for Wood’s successor started in January 2024 with a job description being posted, according to a spokesperson for the Foundation.
