Alan Shawn Feinstein, a prominent educational philanthropist known for his dedication to inspiring children to perform good deeds, passed away at the age of 93. He founded the Feinstein Foundation in 1991, which has left a significant legacy through initiatives like the Feinstein Junior Scholars and numerous Feinstein Leadership Schools across Rhode Island. Feinstein, who made his fortune through collectibles and direct mail marketing, was a familiar face in local schools, often donning a gold jacket while encouraging students to document their acts of kindness. His philanthropic efforts and mantra, 'To better one life is to better the world,' resonated deeply within the community. Funeral services will be held on September 21, with a private burial and live-streamed ceremony for family and friends. Feinstein is remembered not only for his charitable contributions but also for his warm heart and lasting impact on education in Rhode Island.
