Ideal Applicant

A Massachusetts-based nonprofit serving low-income elderly and disabled residents (senior centers, visiting nurse associations, community action agencies, or similar local human services organizations) with an established local presence and requests sized to mid-four-figure to mid-five-figure grants.

Good Fit

  • Programs explicitly serving low-income seniors or disabled residents in Plymouth County or nearby Massachusetts towns
  • Established local track record and clear demonstration of community impact
  • Project or operating requests in the typical observed grant range (roughly $10K–$50K)
  • Existing relationship, referral, or prior funding history with local trustees or incumbent grantees
  • Programs matching observed purposes (general operating support, fuel/emergency assistance, transportation, home health/telehealth)

Geography

Restrictive

Observed grantmaking is confined to Massachusetts with a clear local focus on Plymouth County and nearby towns (all recorded grants in the latest year were in-state).

Recipient Variety

Broad

The foundation funded 15 distinct independent recipients in the latest year across a range of senior and human-service organizations; despite some dollar concentration in top recipients, the number and types of grantees indicate a broad recipient set for this foundation's size.

New Applicants

Moderate

Behavior shows a very high returning-recipient rate (14 of 15) and only one new grantee in the latest year, suggesting new entrants are uncommon, but the public website and posted application guidelines mean unfamiliar applicants have a visible path; openness appears limited but not fully closed.
