Deadline: 07/08/2023
Size of the Grant: $1,000 – $10,000
Details:
The CHT Foundation has three main areas of interest: education, the environment, and projects that enhance historic preservation. The grants are confined to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Trustees have a strong geographic preference for projects serving the cities of Boston and New Bedford, and rarely make grants for projects serving communities outside those two cities.
- Education: The focus will be on the support of programs for pre-school through elementary school age children, with emphasis on early learning, literacy, civics and the teaching of history
- The Environment: A particular focus is on protecting the Commonwealth’s waterways and the quality of its water generally, with strong emphasis on Boston Harbor, the Charles River, the South Coast, Buzzards Bay, and the Elizabeth Islands
- History: Of special interest to the Trustees is the history of Boston’s recent immigrants, and their contributions to medicine, education and the environment. The Foundation is also interested in the history of New Bedford and its environs, and in New Bedford’s potential as a model for urban renewal.
