Grant to Support Programs Enhancing Quality of Life in Massachusetts (USA)
GrantID: 74946
Grant Funding Amount Low: $2,500
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $5,000
Summary
This grant opportunity is for nonprofit organizations serving the town of Chatham, Massachusetts. Eligible groups must be 501(c)(3) public charities. Organizations outside Chatham may also apply, but only if the project or program they propose directly benefits Chatham residents. Individuals and for-profit businesses are not eligible under this particular grant.
The purpose of the funding is to support projects that respond to community-identified needs and opportunities. It is especially interested in proposals that address themes such as hunger, children’s services, environmental protection, and other social needs. These might include housing, aging in place, transportation access, or economic security. Projects could be existing programs to expand or improve them, pilot or new initiatives, or capacity building to help nonprofits become more effective.
Typical uses for the funds include program operation, outreach or communication efforts, planning, events with measurable outcomes, or sometimes equipment or technology needed to carry out a program. However, certain types of requests are not accepted: for example, projects already completed, debt reduction, endowment building, capital campaigns, or construction of large permanent facilities or monuments.
The awards are modest: most grants fall in a mid-range that can help supplement small to medium-scale nonprofit programs. In one year, the total available funding for this grant pool is around thirty thousand dollars, distributed across several individual awards. Each application generally requests a few thousand dollars, enough to make meaningful but not large-scale impact.
Organizations and individuals based in Massachusetts who are engaged in Quality of Life may be eligible to apply for this funding opportunity. To discover more grants that align with your mission and objectives, visit The Grant Portal and explore listings using the Search Grant tool.
