The East Boston Foundation
The foundation was formed in 1998 to administer a generous $9.6 million commitment from the Massachusetts Port Authority as part of community mitigation and to offset the impacts associated with Massport's $4.4 Billion Logan Airport Modernization Program.
Categories of Grants
The Board of Trustees of the East Boston Foundation has identified the following categories of grants, which in the discretion of the Board may be amended from time to time. Grant requests and applications shall be grouped into various categories and identified as follows:
Mini-grants
The Foundation recognizes the need for supporting programs and initiatives in the community, which may qualify for one of the above stated categories, but seeks an amount which is considered nominal by the Foundation.
Each year the Foundation will allocate an amount towards funding of the mini-grant program.
The Foundation will accept requests for these grants on an informal basis and may exercise discretion and control over the disbursement of such funds by making either a direct vendor type payments on behalf of the organization or a payment to the organization itself. An organization seeking a mini-grant shall submit a request to the Foundation at least ten (10) days prior to the stated deadline on its own letterhead and signed by an authorized representative of the organization. The request shall include an itemized list of items for which the Foundation is being asked to fund. If approved, the Foundation will then make a direct payment on behalf of the organization to the specific vendor, up-to the awarded amount.
The Foundation will not make payments to individuals.
