Summary
This grant opportunity is offered in Greater Boston and focuses on supporting nonprofit organizations through a variety of initiative-based funding programs. Applicants must generally be 501(c)(3) nonprofits (or under fiscal sponsorship), operating in alignment with strategic priorities such as child well-being, economic opportunity, community wealth, and leadership.
One program provides general operating support of about $50,000, typically awarded twice per year to social service groups addressing essential needs like health, wellness, safety, belonging, crisis support, or housing. For organizations serving seniors or people with physical disabilities and meeting certain criteria, larger grants up to $75,000 may be available under this same program. Another funding stream makes one-time grants of $25,000 to nonprofits serving Latinx communities, intended to support organizations led by and primarily serving those communities. Additional smaller grants are awarded in other initiative funds for arts, culture, LGBTQ+ support, and capacity-building.
Applications are usually structured as competitive requests for proposals. Each initiative sets its own eligibility criteria, timeline, and funding amount. Proposals are evaluated based on the organization’s track record, alignment with particular community priorities, ability to deliver measurable outcomes, and engagement with underserved or marginalized populations.
The intent of the funds is to strengthen nonprofit capacity, support programs that address pressing social issues, foster equity, expand access to opportunity, and sustain organizations that are making real impact in their communities. Funds may be used for programmatic expenses, staffing directly tied to the project, outreach, and other costs connected to delivering services. In many cases, funds are not permitted for broad capital construction or endowment building or for periodic projects outside of specific priorities.
Overall, this opportunity supports nonprofits working in Greater Boston, with emphasis on marginalized communities, Latinx-serving or LGBTQ+-serving groups, and those addressing essential health, safety, and economic stability needs.
