Small Community Grants Trust Program The Small Community Grants Trust program funds non-profit organizations that work with and for the people of Boston, providing immediate and direct impact in a number of program areas. What are the small community grants? The Trust Office manages over 300 individual trusts , many of which are for a very specific purpose and generate a small amount of money each year.

We’ve grouped a number of these small trusts into the Small Community Grants Program so that we can honor the intentions of the donors by efficiently granting the funds to benefit Bostonians. Grants are awarded twice a year and range from $500- $2000. The Spring 2026 Round application is now closed.

Thank you to everyone who submitted applications. The Fall 2026 Round application will open in late August. The Spring Round application closed on April 29, 2026.
