Ideal Applicant
A small or mid-sized human-services organization based in Greater Haverhill (MA) addressing immediate community needs such as food assistance, shelter, senior services, or community programming.
Good Fit
- • Located in Haverhill or the immediate surrounding area of Massachusetts.
- • Clear, concrete request for basic human-services programming or emergency assistance.
- • Request amount aligned with recent grants (typical single grants in the low-thousands to low five-figures; median around several thousand).
- • Ability to document local impact and community need.
- • Willingness to submit a written request by the stated August 31 deadline.
- • Local relationships or endorsements from organizations already in the foundation's network.
Geography
Observed giving is geographically narrow: every recorded grant across the observed years went to Massachusetts and awards are restricted to the greater Haverhill area.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded about 20–22 distinct, generally independent recipients each year (22 distinct recipients in 2024), indicating a broad set of local grantees rather than support for a single beneficiary.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of turnover is limited but present: four new recipients appeared in 2024, and the filings publish a written-request application route; however a high share of recurring grantees suggests selection is relationship- and locally oriented, so new entrants are possible but not clearly easy to break into.
