Ideal Applicant
Small to micro nonprofits and local community or faith-based organizations in New England (especially New Hampshire, Connecticut, Vermont, Massachusetts) seeking modest general operating support and who can be reached through local networks or introductions.
Good Fit
- • Located in New Hampshire or nearby New England states.
- • Requesting small-to-midsize general operating support ($250–$9,000 range).
- • Community-based, human services, or faith-affiliated organizations similar to past grantees.
- • Has local relationships or mutual contacts to enable a nomination or introduction.
- • Able to demonstrate immediate, concrete community impact suited to one-off grants.
Geography
Observed grants are regional: 2024 recipients span four states with a New Hampshire concentration (43% of dollars), and earlier filings showed giving across more states, indicating a multi-state but regionally focused footprint.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded 10 distinct recipients in 2024 and 12 in 2022 with no repeats across years, showing a broad set of independent small grantees despite dollar concentration among a few top recipients.
New Applicants
Public filings and the profile explicitly state grants are made only to preselected applicants and there is no visible submission channel; although many 2024 grantees were new, the absence of a public application route and lack of contact details make it unlikely an unfamiliar organization could easily enter the portfolio without being nominated or introduced.
