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
- Transfers to MGB-owned hospitals and physician organizations
- Community health centers in Lynn, Salem, Boston neighborhoods
- Safety-net and homeless care partners outside the system
- Health equity policy, advocacy, and coalition groups
- Workforce pipeline grants to community colleges and universities
- Small youth and neighborhood organizations in Greater Boston
Typical grant
Two completely different tiers. Internal transfers labeled exempt affiliate support run from about $6,000 to $48 million and account for nearly all of the $364.6 million on file. Outside money moves through the community benefit line, where the median sits near $35,500, most checks land between $5,500 and $250,000, and only a few partners such as Lynn Community Health Center clear $500,000; the safety-net grantees repeat year over year while the small college payments look formulaic at $5,500 each.
Their words
Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.
- “EXEMPT AFFILIATE SUPPORT”
- “COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROGRAM”
- “health equity”
- “community health center”
Positioning adjacent work
- Route the work through an MGB affiliate as clinical partner; standalone outside requests almost never appear.
- Anchor in Lynn, Salem, Revere, Chelsea, Roxbury, or Mattapan, where their community benefit dollars concentrate.
- Ask $25,000 to $75,000 first; only long-standing health center partners see six figures.
- Frame outcomes as community benefit and health equity, not investigator-initiated research.
Worth knowing: This is a health system's filing, not a grantmaking foundation: well over 95 percent of the dollars are internal transfers to Mass General, Brigham, Spaulding, McLean, and affiliated physician groups. The genuinely external giving is a few million a year, tightly clustered in Greater Boston and North Shore safety-net organizations that recur annually, plus a set of identical $5,500 payments to colleges that read as tuition or scholarship support rather than programmatic grants.
Top recipients
Repeat recipients are the strongest signal of whether a funder has an open door or quietly re-funds the same organizations.
