Ideal Applicant
Small-to mid-sized community nonprofits (especially in Massachusetts and neighboring New England states) working in health, basic human services, youth development, or local education and community programs.
Good Fit
- • Organization serves Lawrence/Andover or greater Massachusetts communities.
- • Request size fits the foundation’s typical small-to-mid grant amounts (many $0–$5K awards and some $5K–$25K).
- • Established local presence or an existing relationship/referral from company leadership or prior grantees.
- • Programs focused on community services, health, food/hunger relief, youth development, or local education.
Geography
Grants are concentrated in Massachusetts (about 69% of dollars) but the foundation funded recipients in 19 states in the latest year, showing a multi-state footprint.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 139 distinct recipients and 147 grants, with 111 newly funded organizations that year, indicating a broad and diverse recipient set rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows the foundation funds many new recipients (111 new in 2024) but the public filing and application metadata state grants are to preselected applicants, so unfamiliar organizations could be added but unsolicited public applications are unlikely to be accepted.
