Ideal Applicant
Established human-services, faith-based, disaster-relief, or regional rescue organizations with a track record and capacity to manage mid-sized awards (roughly $10k–$75k), preferably operating in Massachusetts or the broader New England/tri-state area.
Good Fit
- • Mission aligns with hospice care, disaster response, human services, faith-based parish needs, or animal rescue.
- • Organization can supply a 501(c)(3) determination letter and recent annual report on request.
- • Has an established operating history and ability to use a mid-sized discretionary grant.
- • Regional presence or ties to Massachusetts or nearby states.
Geography
Grants were made to recipients in four states (including DC, FL, NY and Massachusetts), but giving is concentrated regionally with about 39% of dollars going to Massachusetts.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows seven distinct recipients with five repeat grantees across the observed years, a mix of national charities and smaller regional/nonprofit recipients; dollars are concentrated among the top five recipients, however.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows occasional new grantees (two new recipients in the latest year), and the foundation provides a public written-request process (requirement for a 501(c)(3) letter and latest annual report), but a notable portion of giving follows recurring allocations to named organizations, so entry appears possible but limited.
