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
- Cash transfers to Mass General Brigham's own hospitals and physician groups
- Community health centers and the Massachusetts League of Community Health Centers
- Affordable housing and neighborhood development in Roxbury, Chelsea, Lynn
- Behavioral health workforce pipelines at social work and psychology schools
- Food access, senior services, and youth programs near hospital campuses
- Immigrant family services and legal aid in Boston neighborhoods
Typical grant
Two entirely different scales live in this record. Affiliate transfers run from $126,000 to $209 million and account for nearly all of the $3.1 billion; those are internal and not open to outsiders. The external Community Benefit Program grants cluster between $50,000 and $800,000, with a median near $52,000, and repeat year over year to the same partners, sometimes as multiple separate awards to one grantee in a single year (Massachusetts League of Community Health Centers received four in 2023, William James College four).
Their words
Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.
- “COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAM”
- “TO SUPPORT TAX EXEMPT AFFILIATE”
- “COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER”
- “SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WORK”
- “RACIAL EQUITY AND SOCIAL JUSTICE”
Positioning adjacent work
- Frame the work as community benefit, not research; every external grant carries that exact designation.
- Tie to their behavioral health workforce theme: William James College, Salem State and Bridgewater social work.
- Ask $75,000 to $250,000 for a first award; seven figures goes only to affiliates and CDCs.
- Name a specific hospital service area: Chelsea, Lynn, Salem, Roxbury, Northampton, Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard.
Worth knowing: Roughly 99 percent of the dollars are internal transfers to Mass General Brigham affiliates, so the genuinely competitive pool is the Community Benefit Program, which is small, almost entirely Massachusetts, and dominated by returning partners like the Massachusetts League of Community Health Centers, William James College, and a handful of Roxbury and Chelsea community development corporations. Out-of-state giving is negligible: 438 of 472 grants went to Massachusetts, with New Hampshire a distant second tied to their Seacoast-area presence.
