Ideal Applicant
A tax-exempt organization (often regional to New England) with projects in environmental conservation, plastic-pollution prevention, or related community conservation work seeking mid-to-large grants and able to submit mailed proposal packets and comply with reporting.
Good Fit
- • Project aligns with plastic pollution prevention, EPR/packaging strategies, or land/conservation work.
- • Request size in the roughly $50K–$200K range.
- • Ability to prepare detailed budgets and provide IRS tax-exempt documentation.
- • Regional presence or activity in New England (MA, ME, VT, NH) or demonstrable partnership with institutions there.
- • Willingness to use the mailed submission process and meet the Sept/March deadlines.
Geography
Giving is regionally concentrated: the latest year funded recipients in three states and prior years show grants across multiple New England states (MA, ME, VT, NH) with one out-of-region grant to VA; the footprint is multi-state but not national.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded 4, 6 and 3 distinct recipients in 2022–2024 respectively, and recipients appear to be independent organizations rather than a single affiliated beneficiary; this indicates a moderate spread of grantees for a small private foundation.
New Applicants
Direct behavioral evidence shows both repeat grantees and new grantees (several new recipients in 2023 and one new in 2024), and the foundation publishes an application process and deadlines; based on the multi-year record and the visible mailed application route, new entrants appear plausible but selection looks selective rather than broadly open.
