Summary
This grant opportunity is designed to empower community-based organizations working within specific regions, offering funding aimed at catalyzing impactful programs and initiatives. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations, and in some cases small businesses or individual practitioners—depending on the particular call. The geographic focus may target certain states, counties or regional catchment areas where underserved populations face measurable barriers to advancement.
The intent of the funding is strategic: to support projects that demonstrate a clear purpose around — for example — advancing education, promoting equity and inclusion, strengthening economic self-sufficiency, or expanding access to health or social services. Grant funds can be used for activities such as program development, capacity-building, outreach initiatives, training and skill-building efforts, and in some instances the purchase of equipment or enhancements to facility infrastructure.
Successful applicants will propose outcomes aligned with the funder’s interest in long-term sustainability, measurable community impact and innovation. While a full range of nonprofit types may qualify, preference may be given to those serving defined constituencies or geographies, such as women and girls, historically marginalized groups, or rural and under-resourced communities. In some cases, collaboration among multiple organizations is encouraged.
Awards vary in size but are broadly intended to provide meaningful support rather than full operational budgets. The program is available in designated locations—typically within a specific state or region—so applicants must check eligibility carefully. By connecting mission with action and demonstrating clear alignment with the funder’s values, organizations stand to gain not only financial resources but also visibility and partnership opportunities.
This grant may be available to individuals and organizations in Massachusetts that are actively involved in Non-Profit Support Services. To locate more funding opportunities in your field, visit The Grant Portal and search by interest area using the Search Grant tool.
