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.

Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Education & Human Resources (IUSE: EHR) Program is sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF). This program promotes novel, creative, and transformative approaches to generating and using new knowledge about STEM teaching and learning to improve STEM education for undergraduate students. It supports projects that bring recent advances in STEM knowledge into undergraduate education, adapt, improve, and incorporate evidence-based practices, and lay the groundwork for institutional improvement in STEM education. Professional development for instructors to ensure adoption of new and effective pedagogical techniques is a potential topic of interest.
The National Leadership Grants for Libraries Program (NLG-L) supports projects that address critical needs of the library and archives fields and have the potential to advance practice and strengthen library and archival services for the American public. Successful proposals will generate results such as new models, tools, research findings, services, practices, and/or alliances that can be widely used, adapted, scaled, or replicated to extend and leverage the benefits of federal investment. Applications to IMLS should both advance knowledge and understanding and ensure that the federal investment made generates benefits to society. Specifically, the goals for this program are to generate projects of far-reaching impact that: • Build the workforce and institutional capacity for managing the national information infrastructure and serving the information and education needs of the public. • Build the capacity of libraries and archives to lead and contribute to efforts that improve community well-being and strengthen civic engagement. • Improve the ability of libraries and archives to provide broad access to and use of information and collections with emphasis on collaboration to avoid duplication and maximize reach. • Strengthen the ability of libraries to provide services to affected communities in the event of an emergency or disaster. • Strengthen the ability of libraries, archives, and museums to work collaboratively for the benefit of the communities they serve. Throughout its work, IMLS places importance on diversity, equity, and inclusion. This may be reflected in an IMLS-funded project in a wide range of ways, including efforts to serve individuals of diverse geographic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds; individuals with disabilities; individuals with limited functional literacy or information skills; individuals having difficulty using a library or museum; and underserved urban and rural communities, including children from families with incomes below the poverty line. Application Process: The application process for the NLG-L program has two phases; applicants must begin by applying for Phase I. For Phase I, all applicants must submit Preliminary Proposals by the September 20th deadline listed for this Notice of Funding Opportunity.
