Ideal Applicant
A small-to-midsize nonprofit with a record of local impact (especially in Massachusetts) or an established relationship/referral to the foundation or its directors, seeking modest unrestricted operating support.
Good Fit
- • Located in or active in Massachusetts (or one of the six states previously funded).
- • Mission aligns with previously funded areas such as health, food assistance, youth development, housing, or animal welfare.
- • Seeking one-time or small multi-thousand-dollar unrestricted grants ($1k–$25k range).
- • Has an introducer or established relationship with the foundation's board or local philanthropic networks.
Geography
Grants span six states, so giving is multi-state rather than strictly local, but the portfolio is regionally concentrated with about 43% of dollars directed to the foundation's home state.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded 24 distinct recipients in 2022 and 16 in 2023, with a mix of returning and new organizations, indicating a fairly broad set of independent grantees despite some dollar concentration among the top recipients.
New Applicants
Behavior shows meaningful turnover (8 new grantees in 2023), indicating new entrants have been funded, but filings and application metadata state awards are by preselection and there is no public submission route, so unsolicited applicants are unlikely to find a clear entry without a referral.
