Summary

This foundation offers annual grant opportunities designed to support community enrichment and educational innovation in specific New England communities. One of the key funding programs provides substantial financial support to nonprofit organizations and public agencies operating within a defined regional area. These grants are intended to help groups expand services, strengthen organizational capacity, and address important social, cultural, and environmental needs. Projects that aim to improve access to arts and humanities programming, enhance educational outcomes, promote environmental stewardship, support health and wellness initiatives, or deliver critical human services are especially encouraged. Funding levels under this program can vary widely, ranging from modest awards around a few hundred dollars to large grants in the tens or even hundreds of thousands, depending on the scale and anticipated impact of the proposed work.


Eligibility for these larger community grants is focused primarily on tax-exempt nonprofit organizations and government or public sector entities. Small businesses and individual applicants generally are not eligible for this type of support. The funds are intended for use in programs that have a clear and direct benefit to people living within the foundation’s primary service area, with most awards directed toward projects serving the larger city in the region and a smaller share reserved for work in a neighboring town.


In addition to larger community grants, there is a smaller funding opportunity available each year targeted at educators and school-based programs. These modest awards, typically up to several hundred dollars per project, are meant to help teachers and school staff launch creative classroom or co-curricular initiatives that enrich student learning and engagement. This smaller grant is open to eligible school personnel in public schools within the same regional area and is intended to support imaginative and practical improvements that enhance the everyday educational experience for students.
