Ideal Applicant
A tax-exempt public charity serving the Merrimack Valley, North Shore of Massachusetts, or southeastern New Hampshire with programs in education, youth development, health, human services, arts, or community development.
Good Fit
- • Primary program activity located in Merrimack Valley, North Shore, or southeastern New Hampshire.
- • Asking for general operating support, capacity building, or capital campaign support.
- • 501(c)(3) public charity status (not a private foundation).
- • Project scale consistent with observed grants (typical median grant around $10k, individual grants ranging into the tens of thousands).
- • Demonstrated local partnerships or prior service to Lawrence, Haverhill, Salem, Andover, or nearby communities.
Geography
Observed giving is geographically concentrated: about 94% of grant dollars in the latest year went to Massachusetts (with small shares to New Hampshire and New York), and the foundation’s stated focus is the Merrimack Valley, North Shore, and southeastern New Hampshire.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows a broad recipient set (87 grants to 83 distinct organizations) and similar breadth across three observed years, with funding across education, health, arts, human services and community development rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
There is an explicit public application route (online application via GMA Foundations and the Associated Grant Makers common proposal) and the latest year added 41 new recipients (about half the recipient list), indicating that unfamiliar applicants have a plausible path into the portfolio.
