Ideal Applicant
A nonprofit based in Eversource’s service region (primarily MA/CT/NH) running community-facing programs in education, community wellness, environmental stewardship, workforce development, or event sponsorships.
Good Fit
- • Organization serves communities in Massachusetts, Connecticut, or New Hampshire.
- • Request aligns with community wellness, education, environmental stewardship, workforce development, or employee-volunteer activities.
- • Request is for program support, event sponsorship, or a community impact grant at a modest scale (typical grants are small but larger sponsorships occur).
- • Submissions follow the public online portal and meet the November 15 timing guideline.
- • Proposed activities include visible local impact or opportunities for employee engagement.
Geography
Giving is regional: activity is concentrated in Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New Hampshire, and nearly half of dollars flowed to a single state; the portfolio does, however, extend across several nearby states rather than being strictly single-county.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows very broad distribution — roughly 606 grants to about 591 distinct recipients with hundreds of small awards and 445 new grantees — indicating a wide and diverse recipient set despite some recurring larger grants.
New Applicants
Direct evidence supports entry by unfamiliar applicants: a public online application portal and contact emails exist, and about three-quarters of recipients in the latest year were new to the portfolio, so new entrants appear plausible in practice.
