Ideal Applicant
A Massachusetts-based education or community nonprofit with local presence and a relationship or nomination pathway to the foundation (or to people who know its trustees).
Good Fit
- • Organizational base or programs in Massachusetts
- • Work in education, community service, or local faith/community groups
- • Capacity to accept general operating support in the $500–$20,000 range
- • A direct introduction or nomination from a trustee, prior grantee, or trusted intermediary
Geography
Giving is heavily concentrated in Massachusetts (about 97% of 2024 dollars) with only a small number of out-of-state gifts, so the observed footprint is essentially local/regional.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded six distinct recipients in 2024 and 6–7 recipients in prior years, showing a modestly diverse set of independent grantees for a microfoundation, though dollars are financially concentrated among the top recipients.
New Applicants
The foundation's filings and default application state that it funds only preselected organizations; although multiple new recipients appear in each year, the explicit 'preselected only' policy plus absence of public contact information make unsolicited applications unlikely to succeed.
