Summary

There is a community-based grant opportunity available to support organizations working to enhance the quality of life in a small coastal town located in the Northeastern United States. This funding is part of an annual program designed to assist nonprofit organizations that focus on a wide range of areas, including health and wellness, youth development, education, the environment, and arts and culture. The funding is not available for individuals or businesses, but strictly for nonprofit entities that serve the needs of local residents.


Grant awards typically range in total to just over $100,000 each year, divided among multiple recipients. Individual grant amounts vary depending on the scope and impact of the proposed project, but funding often supports programming, outreach efforts, and capacity-building initiatives. Applicants are encouraged to show innovation, collaboration, and responsiveness to the evolving needs of the community.


The grant is intended to foster long-term community well-being, with a focus on projects that are sustainable and inclusive. Preference is given to proposals that directly serve local populations, especially those that can demonstrate clear benefits to underserved or at-risk groups. The initiative aims to support services and programming that improve everyday life—whether through education programs for children, environmental stewardship efforts, or access to vital health resources.


Eligibility is limited to organizations serving a single town, and while agencies based outside of the area may apply, their work must directly benefit the local community. Applications are accepted once a year through a formal process, and awards are typically announced within a few months of the submission deadline. This opportunity provides a meaningful source of funding for local nonprofits working to create a stronger, more connected, and more resilient community.


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.
