Ideal Applicant
A small, Massachusetts-based nonprofit (often in Fall River/Bristol County) with an existing local relationship or referral seeking modest program support (roughly $1k–$10k) in areas like community services, cancer care, education, historical preservation, or faith-based programs.
Good Fit
- • Located in Fall River or elsewhere in Massachusetts and serving local communities.
- • Has a prior grant from this foundation or a warm introduction via a mutual local partner or intermediary.
- • Seeks program or operating support at modest dollar levels (typical grants in recent years were $1k–$10k).
- • Works in community centers, youth services, cancer support, churches, or local education.
Geography
Giving is tightly concentrated in Massachusetts; in 2024 roughly 92% of dollars stayed in MA with most grantees in the Fall River area and only a small out-of-state share.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded multiple independent recipients each year (10 in 2022, 8 in 2023, 7 in 2024) across community, faith, education and health, but dollars are noticeably concentrated (top five grantees took 89% in 2024) and many grantees recur.
New Applicants
Filings and application metadata state the foundation supports only preselected recipients and six of seven 2024 grantees were returning, with only one new recipient in 2024; direct evidence of turnover is limited and the observed pattern points to a relationship/invitation model rather than an open application process.
