Geography

Broad

The latest year shows grants to recipients in 14 states, indicating a multi-state footprint; however, about 40% of dollars were concentrated in Massachusetts.

Recipient Variety

Broad

Seventy-one distinct recipients were funded in the latest year, with a substantial share of small-to-midsize scholarship awards and low concentration at the top of the portfolio.

New Applicants

Broad

A public online application and rolling deadline exist, and the foundation added 28 new recipients in 2024 (around 39% new), which together indicate unfamiliar eligible applicants can realistically enter the portfolio; the filings also note some grants are limited to preselected candidates, so openness applies primarily to the scholarship application stream.
