Small Community Grants Trust Program
The Small Community Grants Trust program funds 501c3 organizations that work with and for the people of Boston, providing immediate and direct impact in a number of program areas.
What are the small community grants?
The Trust Office manages over 300 individual trusts, many of which are for a very specific purpose and generate a small amount of money each year. We’ve grouped a number of these small trusts into the Small Community Grants Program so that we can honor the intentions of the donors by efficiently granting the funds to Bostonians.
