Summary
This grant is designed to support nonprofit organizations. The intent of the funding is to strengthen the community by backing either general operating support or specific projects. On the operating side, nonprofits may request funds that help sustain everyday work — staff, program delivery, organizational systems — in alignment with the funder’s strategic areas. On the project side, the grant supports time‑limited, well‑defined initiatives such as pilot programs, expansions, new collaborations, or service enhancements.
The funder awards roughly $2 million annually toward these opportunities. The project‑support grants typically range from $2,500 to $25,000, while operating grants may vary (some eligibility guidance suggests requests up to $25,000 for organizations with budgets between $1 m and $5 m) depending on size of the organization and budget.
Eligibility is limited to 501(c)(3) nonprofits or fiscally sponsored equivalents. Small businesses, individuals, for‑profit enterprises, governmental bodies, or projects that are purely capital/campaigns are not eligible under this program.
The areas of interest include strengthening arts and culture, meeting basic needs like food and housing, improving health and well‑being, increasing economic opportunity (eg. workforce or wealth‑building), and supporting youth development. The application process is intended to be responsive and accessible, and applicants are encouraged to demonstrate meaningful service, strong mission alignment, good governance and operational strength.
This grant may be available to individuals and organizations in Massachusetts that are actively involved in Housing. To locate more funding opportunities in your field, visit The Grant Portal and search by interest area using the Search Grant tool.
