Hemenway & Barnes | CHT Foundation Thank you for your interest in the CHT Foundation. The Foundation was established in 2005 by the family of William O. Taylor of Boston, former publisher of The Boston Globe, and his wife, Sally P.
Coxe, a native of Philadelphia. The CHT Foundation has three main areas of interest: education, the environment, and projects that enhance historic preservation. The grants are restricted to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
The Trustees have a strong geographic preference for projects serving the cities of Boston and New Bedford, and rarely make grants for projects serving communities outside those two cities. Education: Support of programs for pre-school through elementary school age children, with emphasis on early learning, literacy, civics and the teaching of history.
The Environment: A particular focus is on protecting the Commonwealth's waterways and the quality of its water generally, with strong emphasis on Boston Harbor, the Charles River, the South Coast, Buzzards Bay, and the Elizabeth Islands. History: Of special interest to the Trustees is the history of Boston's recent immigrants, and their contributions to medicine, education and the environment.
The Foundation is also interested in the history of New Bedford and its environs, and in New Bedford's potential as a model for urban renewal. CHT Foundation grants range from $1,000 - $10,000. While there are no restrictions on grants for capital purposes or general operations, the Foundation prefers to fund project-specific requests.
Multi-year requests will not be considered. For new applicants in 2025, the Trustees will prioritize environmental and historic preservation organizations and will not accept new applications in the education category. Only previous grantees are eligible to apply under the education program area.
