Ideal Applicant
Small or mid-sized nonprofits working in Massachusetts or in national civil rights, reproductive health, food security, homelessness, or environmental conservation with a track record of prior work and capacity to manage one-year, modest grants.
Good Fit
- • Programs or service delivery in Massachusetts or demonstrable local partnerships there
- • Work in civil rights, reproductive/women’s health, food insecurity, homelessness, or environmental conservation
- • Project budgets in the typical grant range (~$500–$50,000) with median awards around $6–8K
- • Existing relationships or introductions from current grantees, trustees, or local funders
- • Evidence of steady program performance rather than a request for large multi-year core support
Geography
The foundation funded organizations in 13 states in the latest year, indicating a multi-state footprint, although nearly half of grant dollars were focused in Massachusetts.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 66 distinct recipients and similar counts in prior years, with many independent organizations funded and moderate dollar concentration (largest grantee ~9%, top five ~25%), which indicates a broadly distributed recipient set rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows some new entrants (five new recipients in the latest year), but the foundation explicitly states it only funds preselected applicants and has no public website or clear contact route, so new applicants appear possible but primarily via invitation or referral rather than open applications.
