Ideal Applicant
Community-serving nonprofits with programs in Greater Boston (and select partner counties) focused on housing stability, climate resilience, youth development, food security, or workforce pathways, or organizations with clearly measurable operational or capital projects aligned to those priorities.

- • Ability to complete an online application and demonstrate measurable local impact.

Geography
Giving is national in reach but heavily concentrated in Massachusetts — roughly two thirds of grant dollars went to MA in the latest year and the foundation emphasizes Greater Boston regional eligibility.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows hundreds of independent grantees (559 distinct recipients and over 700 grants), and the portfolio includes many small and mid-size local awards alongside larger multi‑year grants.
New Applicants
The foundation maintains a published online application with rolling reviews and added more than 100 new grantees in the latest year, indicating clear practical access for unfamiliar applicants.
