Grants to Organizations Providing Emergency Assistance to Bostonians

Grant Description

The Trustees of Charitable Donations for Inhabitants of Boston (TOCD) is a public charitable trust. It is made up of small private funds that have been entrusted to the City of Boston to help residents facing financial hardship. 

The Trust Office works with partner organizations to efficiently distribute the TOCD funding and provide wraparound services and support to grantees. The TOCD Board is seeking qualified organizations for the regranting program.
