Funding pattern

What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.

Where the money goes

Youth workforce development and career pathways in Greater Boston
Homelessness prevention, housing stability, and eviction defense
Climate resilience, tree canopy, and green jobs in urban neighborhoods
Food access, hunger relief, and urban agriculture
College access and out-of-school-time programs for youth of color
Employee-directed giving through a donor-advised intermediary

Typical grant

The median grant is $25,000 and half of all grants fall between $12,000 and $50,000, so the everyday check is modest. The big money is concentrated: an $11 million transfer to American Online Giving Foundation for the LM Torchbearer employee giving program, then a $1 million capital gift to St. Mary's Center, then a tier of $250,000 to $500,000 multi-year program grants to established Boston nonprofits. Repeat funding is common; organizations like More Than Words, Jewish Vocational Service, Piers Park Sailing Center, and New Ecology appear more than once in a single year with separate program and operating grants.

Their words

Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.

“capacity building”
“operating support”
“youth workforce development”
“climate resilient”
“housing stability”
“impact-driven collaboration”

Positioning adjacent work

Tie work to a named Boston neighborhood: Dorchester, East Boston, Roxbury, Mattapan, Chelsea, or Brockton all recur.
Frame climate research as green jobs and workforce pathways, not science alone; they fund the employment link.
Ask $100,000 to $150,000 for a defined project; reserve $250,000-plus requests for scaling a proven model.
Pair a program ask with a capacity-building or operating-support component, language they use repeatedly.

Worth knowing: This is overwhelmingly a Massachusetts funder with a secondary Washington State cluster tied to Liberty Mutual's Seattle presence; the 132 Texas and scattered Ohio and New York grants are thin by comparison. A short list of Boston anchor organizations receives multiple grants per year, and the single largest line item is employee-directed giving routed through American Online Giving Foundation, which is not competitively available.
