Applicant organizations should be devoted to expanding
educational opportunity and improving academic outcomes for
underserved students in
New England. The mission of the applicant
organization should also be aligned with the principles of the
initiative to which it is applying, and amenable to the
Foundation’s Engaged Grantmaking approach, the details of which
are located on our
Grant Information page.

Eligibility
Pursuant to its Articles of Organization, the Foundation
operates exclusively for the benefit of, and to promote the
charitable and educational purposes of, educational
organizations, including universities, colleges, secondary
schools, elementary schools, and other educational organizations
that are described in IRC Section 501(c) (3) and that are not
private foundations because they are described in IRC Section
509(a)(1) or (2). The Foundation's activities include making
grants to the public charities it supports and providing
services to those organizations. The Foundation supports only
those programs/organizations that serve students in New England
or research pertaining to education issues in
New England.
The Foundation does not fund capital campaigns,
endowments, scholarships or fellowships, debt reduction or cash
reserves, building construction or renovation, and certain
indirect costs.
Funding Determination
Funding determination may be made in one of three ways:
- A specific organization may be invited to apply
for a grant within an agreed upon timeframe and the proposal
is reviewed in a noncompetitive process.
- A limited number of organizations may be invited
to apply via a Request For Proposals (RFP) before a set
deadline. Proposals submitted would then be reviewed in a
competitive process. All or a selection of the group would
be funded.
- Funding guidelines that outline the Foundation’s
requirements, goals, and funding strategy and an open RFP
are distributed by the Foundation or by an intermediary
hired to manage a cluster of grants and to post on
appropriate websites. Organizations determine their
potential eligibility and whether they should submit a
proposal before a set deadline. Proposals submitted are
reviewed in a competitive process. All or a selection of
the group are funded based on the criteria outlined in the
guidelines.
