Supporting programs that have a tangible, direct impact.

Grantmaking Approach

The Alvarium Foundation partners with nonprofit organizations that work directly with vulnerable or high-need families and individuals, including those engaged in the shelter system, recently incarcerated individuals, opportunity youth, and more.

The Foundation funds organizations based in our home state of Massachusetts, with special attention to communities that lie outside of the greater Boston area.

We typically provide targeted support to programs or projects that have a tangible, direct impact on individuals, families, or communities; general operating support grants are considered on a case-by-case basis.

Applications for grants are by invitation only. The Foundation does not currently accept unsolicited proposals.

Our Focus Areas: Housing | Food security | Education | Youth development | Environmental access
