DESCRIPTION

Open Door Grants are reserved for small- to medium-size organizations. They ensure that newer or less well funded organizations have the opportunity to access funding and that the Foundation has the opportunity to learn about their work. Specifically, organizations in or serving Barnstable County, Massachusetts that:

• Have an operating budget of $1M or less (2023).
• Have been in operation/providing services for at least one full year.

First time applicants are welcome to apply. Due to the nature of this particular grant, public schools, private schools, and government organizations are excluded.

Applicants may indicate whether they are applying for general operating support OR for specific project support.

Please review the guidelines for detailed information. DOWNLOAD GUIDELINES
