The organization put a deposit on a mobile classroom and was in the process of remodeling the classroom to bring it up to current building code when the state of rhode island and the city of providence started to delayed their zoning approvals. After eight months of trying to resolve the zoning issues, the organization had to permanently close its second classroom. With only one remaining classroom the organization could not raise enough money to cover its operating overhead and had to permanently shut its doors. All remaining assets, after the final expenses were paid, were distributed to the dorcas international institute of ri, a federal 501(c)(3) organization, that has a mission statement similar to mariposa. The doris stephen's fund was treated as transferred to the rhode island foundation (rif). Rif always had full control and custody of the fund's assets and was a mariposa asset in name only.”
