## Healthy Summer Youth Jobs Program Created in 2015, the Healthy Summer Youth Jobs program has provided over 1,000 young people across the state with an opportunity to positively impact public health in their communities and gain important on-the-job skills.
The annual grant program uses funds received by the AG's Office through health care and child labor settlements to provide grants to fund health-focused employment for young people. These grants fund jobs across Massachusetts - in cities and towns, government offices, and non-profit organizations.
Applicants may apply for grants to fund jobs that benefit public health and provide professional development opportunities for youth employees. To date, the AG's Office has provided more than $2. 6 million in funding through 635 grants to 205 organizations in 81 cities and towns across the state.
The resulting jobs have addressed important community needs such as food security, intergenerational wellness, and local conservation efforts. Past grant recipients include: * Programs that improve public health in low-income communities. * Programs focused on advancing health-related environmental justice.
* Programs that promote health and wellness among youth and across low-income communities. * Programs that develop health literacy for youth to improve mental health, disease prevention, and self-management. The AG’s Office awards grants to nonprofits and municipalities to support their summer jobs programs.
The AG’s Office does not accept applications for youth employment to the Healthy Summer Youth Jobs program. If you are a young person searching for summer employment, the AG’s Office recommends looking through the previous Healthy Summer Youth Jobs grant recipients for programs which have historically hired youth workers.

Cummings Foundation grew its annual local program from $30 million to $35 million for 2026 awards, but the dollar increase is the smaller story. Nearly every grant now flows as unrestricted general operating support — the funding nonprofits ask for most and receive least. For eligible Massachusetts organizations, the 2027 cycle opens July 15 with a September 16 letter-of-inquiry deadline. Here is who qualifies, why the shift to operating support changes the calculus, and how a small nonprofit should approach a program that hands out 150 grants a year, most of them chosen by community volunteers.
Read articleThe Cummings Foundation's flagship program will award $35 million to roughly 150 eastern-Massachusetts nonprofits in 2027, up from $30 million — and nearly all of it now flows as unrestricted general operating support. Letters of Inquiry opened July 15 and close September 16, 2026. Here is who qualifies, how the multi-year and 10-year tracks work, and how to write an LOI that survives the first cut.
