Originally called the Brain Injury Association of Massachusetts (BIA-MA) and founded in 1985, the Massachusetts Statewide Head Injury Program (SHIP) program has been helping people in the state of Massachusetts for over 35 years. And due to lack of funding, in 1991 the Head Injury Treatment Services Trust Fund (HITS) was passed to help further fund SHIP.
The HITS trust fund was created to put a surcharge on people convicted for DUI or Driving to Endanger charges. Specifically, if a person in Massachusetts gets a DUI, they must pay a $125 fine to the SHIP program. Speeding is an additional fine for this fund.
Individuals caught speeding are charged $25 to help fund this program. Around $1. 8 million each year is collected alone from DUI fees.
The Massachusetts statewide head injury program does so much to help and the best part, there is no cap on the services they provide. To see if you're eligible, and to see the services they will pay for, continue reading below. To be eligible for the money provided by the HITS Trust Fund, you must meet the eligibility requirements of the Massachusetts Statewide Head Injury Program.
First, you must be a resident of Massachusetts and you must have a confirmed brain injury that was caused by something outside of the brain, ie, it is not a brain injury you were born with. You must also express difficulty in managing your everyday life since your brain injury occurred.
To show the program that you have difficulty managing various aspects of your life, you'll need to document the difficulties you experience because of your traumatic brain injury. Video is one of the best ways to document the difficulties you experience. You must also be a willing participant in the services provided by the program and you must be able to participate in the services.
Outside of case management, which is a critical component of the services provided by SHIP, the program offers a wide variety of services to encompass all needs of healing. One of the most popular services is residential services, however, this funding is now limited. They also provide funding help if an individual with a brain injury lives in a home setting that has more than one individual with a brain injury.
Support around the clock must also be available for SHIP to cover most services. Shared living services are also provided. This service is when an individual with a brain injury lives in a paid caregiver's home.
This person will help you with your everyday needs. There are also several regional Service Centers around the state of Massachusetts that help people improve their job skills. Skills training is also provided, helping individuals live and learn more easily in their community.
SHIP will also cover costs stemming from home modifications to make the home more accessible, as well as substance abuse treatment, dental care, and assistive technology. The trust fund money is also used to support the prevention and education of brain injuries and public awareness of the Brain Injury Association of Massachusetts. And if you need emergency funding, SHIP can be of assistance.
The program’s administrator will authorize funding for specific emergency services if needed. Emergency services that are covered include transportation and respite care. If you meet the eligibility requirements and feel this program is the right fit, you can apply by first requesting an application.
To request an application, you must call SHIP to ask for an application or you can email them at SHIPU@MRC. state. ma.
us. You'll need to send your release forms from the hospital where your injury was first treated as well. Once they have these records, as well as a finished application, they will send you a letter in the mail to alert you to their decision.
For more questions regarding this program, the contact for SHIP is Debra Kamen, who is the Director of the Statewide Community Services Department for the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission. You can email her at debra. kamen@state.

Every Student Succeeds Act/Preschool Development Grants is sponsored by Department of Health And Human Services. The Preschool Development Grants (PDG) program seeks to assist states (including territories) in helping low-income and disadvantaged children enter Kindergarten prepared and ready to succeed in school and to help improve the transitions from the early care and education setting to elementary school. The overall responsibility of the ESSA PDG is to assist states (including territories) in the coordination of their existing early childhood service delivery models and funding streams - for the purpose of serving more children birth through age five in a mixed delivery model. The ESSA PDG has three targeted purposes. It aims to: "(1) assist States to develop, update, or implement a strategic plan that facilitates collaboration and coordination among existing programs of early childhood care and education in a mixed delivery system across the State designed to prepare low-income and disadvantaged children to enter kindergarten and to improve transitions from such system into the local educational agency or elementary school that enrolls such children, by— (A) more efficiently using existing Federal, State, local, and non-governmental resources to align and strengthen the delivery of existing programs, (B) coordinating the delivery models and funding streams existing in the State's mixed delivery system; and (C) developing recommendations to better use existing resources in order to improve-- (i) the overall participation of children in a mixed delivery system of Federal, State, and local early childhood education programs; (ii) program quality while maintaining availability of services; (iii) parental choice among existing programs; and (iv) school readiness for children from low- income and disadvantaged families, including during such children's transition into elementary school; (2) encourage partnerships among Head Start providers, State and local governments, Indian tribes and tribal organizations, private entities (including faith- and community- based entities), and local educational agencies, to improve coordination, program quality, and delivery of services; and (3) maximize parental choice among a mixed delivery system of early childhood education program providers." [Note to 42 USC 9831(a)] The PDG B-5 System Building Grants allow states and territories to develop and implement a comprehensive, statewide, birth through five needs assessment. States and territories then develop and implement a related strategic plan that also addresses activities that lead to more meaningful parent engagement, the sharing of resources and best practices among the different early childhood program providers, and improvements in overall quality, specific to each state's developmental goals. These grants allow states and territories to continue to improve coordination and collaboration of programs, services, and systems, while focusing on data integration, ongoing monitoring and evaluation, and improvement of governance structures, policy development, and stakeholder engagement.

The OpenAI Foundation is putting $100 million behind Breakthroughs to Follow-Through, a Common Health Coalition initiative aiming to at least double hepatitis C cure rates in eight states and localities within two years. Alabama, Illinois, Louisiana and Massachusetts go first, money flows to local collaboratives and nonprofits, and the grants are deliberately not tied to any one AI vendor. Here is what makes an organization fundable under it.
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.
Read articleCummings 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.
