Deadline: 01-Sep-20
Applicants are now invited to submit applications for the Island Foundation’s Grant program 2020.
Priority Areas
The Island Foundation accepts proposals for projects in the four priority areas of:
- Environment
- New Bedfor
- Education
- Women and Girls.
The Foundation seeks organizations that are innovative, well-regarded, sustainable, nondiscriminatory in any way, and able to demonstrate the impact of their work.
The Foundation also gives preference to organizations based in and working within a community, particularly in regards to the city of New Bedford.
The Foundation does not fund
The Foundation does not support proposals outside its priority areas (issue and/or geographic) or requests from individuals, for-profit businesses, or religious groups.
Eligibility Criteria
The Island Foundation supports 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations in Maine, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. The Board funds some groups outside of these areas when their programs relate to work the Foundation is supporting within its programmatic and geographic priority areas. On a case-by-case basis, the Foundation provides funding to groups without nonprofit status that use a fiscal sponsor.
