Ideal Applicant
Small to micro community-focused organizations or programs in the New England region (education, local community service, conservation, or small humanitarian relief projects) with clear, modest, project-level needs and local credibility.
Good Fit
- • Located in Rhode Island or nearby New England states and delivering local community services.
- • Asking for modest, project-specific funding (e.g., supplies, small repairs, program support).
- • Known to local intermediaries or able to secure a nomination/introduction to the board.
- • Work aligns with past purposes (community service, education, conservation, child-focused relief).
Geography
Grants in the observed year went to recipients in four different states (CT, RI, MA, NY), showing a multi-state regional footprint even though half of the dollars went to Rhode Island.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows six distinct independent recipients across education, conservation, community clubs and international relief, which indicates a moderate breadth for a very small foundation despite a high share of dollars concentrated among the top five recipients.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of turnover across years is unavailable, but filing metadata explicitly marks grants as preselected/invitation-only and there is no public application or contact route, so an unfamiliar applicant is unlikely to access funding without a nomination or relationship.
