Boston: Initial Grant Request

Boston: Initial Grant Request

For non-profits in Greater Boston/New England seeking their first grant from us.
First, give us the basics about your organization and its mission statement. Summarize your grant request, and how it fits with our focus on youth.

Tell us -- either on this form, via a URL or with an attachment -- how you measure your progress.

Finally, attach anything else you think would be helpful to us. If needed, expand on the answers where we only allowed you a few sentences.

When everything is complete, submit your request. You'll get an automated email confirmation that we received it. We'll follow up with you later if we have additional questions.

Summary of Program and Request

In 2-3 paragraphs, please describe:
- What you're asking for - amount and purpose
- Who you serve - specific populations, ages, and barriers they face
- How you help - your approach, not just activities. What makes it effective?
- What changes - top outcome you expect (e.g., increased stability, skill development, independence)
Think of this as your elevator pitch. If your mission statement doesn't clearly connect to teens/young adults becoming independent, explain that connection here.

Summary of Impact

How do you measure your progress? List briefly and, if possible, distinguish between:
- Impact: long-term, fundamental changes in the lives of beneficiaries or in broader societal conditions. They answer: "Did we change lives or solve the problem?" Example: 'Youth maintain stable housing 12 months post-program'
- Outcomes: medium-term changes in knowledge, behavior, attitudes, or circumstances resulting from your programs. They answer: "What changed for participants because of our work?" Example: PHQ-9 scores improve by average of 6 points,' '75% complete workforce training'
- Outputs: direct products of your activities—what you deliver. They answer: "What did we do and how much?" Example: '120 counseling sessions provided'
If you have this information in an Outcomes Report or Annual Report, either on-line or in an uploadable attachment, you can skip this or enter "See attached" here. Add the URL or attachment below.
