The Robert And Cynthia Marr Charitable
This organization is a private foundation focused on charitable giving, primarily supporting religious and faith-based organizations. Its mission appears to center on providing financial assistance to initiatives that align with charitable and human services, as evidenced by its grants to the Catholic Community Fund and Marist Fathers. The foundation serves a charitable purpose, with a notable emphasis on supporting religious communities. It operates primarily within Massachusetts, reflecting a commitment to local charitable activities.

Ideal Applicant
A Massachusetts-based, faith-oriented or community nonprofit with local ties and projects sized for modest one-time grants.
Good Fit
- • Located in Massachusetts or serving Massachusetts communities.
- • Religious or faith-based charitable mission (especially Catholic-aligned activities).
- • Project needs that match modest single-year grants (tens of thousands or under).
- • Local credibility or a referral/introduction to the trustee or community network.
- • Willingness to use a mailed proposal or phone contact route rather than an online portal.
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year were exclusively to Massachusetts recipients, with one state represented and all dollars directed in-state.
Recipient Variety
In the latest year the foundation made only two grants to two distinct recipients; while those recipients appear to be independent, the sample is very small and giving dollars were heavily concentrated in a single recipient.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of multi-year turnover is unavailable, but filings show application/contact information, a named trustee and a mailing/phone contact and the foundation is not restricted to preselected recipients, so unfamiliar applicants have a plausible—but unproven—path in.
