Application Information · Amelia Peabody Foundation Your proposal should provide a clear understanding about your organization, what you propose to do, how you want to do it, and who will be served. Due to the volume of applications the Foundation receives, we have limited ability to provide pre-application guidance.
Please do not include additional background information such as letters of support, lengthy program and facility descriptions, extensive organizational histories, publicity materials, brochures, etc. There are three grant cycles per year. Applications open two months prior to each application deadline. No priority is given to early submissions; we review all applications together following submission deadlines.
Trustees will only consider one grant application per calendar year for each organization. Answers to other Frequently Asked Questions can be found on the FAQ page. Grant Application Considerations We look at many factors, including the leadership of organizations that apply.
Experience has taught us that the people who lead and staff the organization are most instrumental in bringing about positive changes in the lives of the youth and families in the communities they serve. Amelia Peabody Foundation grants only support projects and programs that are carried out in Massachusetts.
Grants are not made directly to individuals nor are they made for vehicles, promotional videos, conferences, endowments, independent research, seed money, advertisements, sponsorships, fundraising events or lobbying. Trustees increasingly prioritize funding organizations that support kids and families outside of Greater Boston, particularly in parts of the state where there is more limited access to other philanthropic support.
We favor grants that help organizations to leverage additional funds. We particularly favor grants to organizations that employ members of the populations that they serve and where the organization is based in the very neighborhoods that are served. Most grants are for one year only.
However, in some instances capital grants can last up to three years. From time to time the Foundation will issue a challenge grant requiring the grantee to match funding by a specified time from other sources as detailed in the challenge.
Such other sources vary from grant to grant, but have included as examples: only Board members, only individuals, only funders from the same city, only new funders and/or increased amounts from previous funders, only amounts above a given threshold. Challenges can be offered for all of an application request or a portion thereof.
