2024 Grant Cycle:
Over $2.1 Million to 10 MA Nonprofits
Our seventh year of grantmaking focused on our expanded mission to reach women
and girls in underserved communities across the Commonwealth. Nearly one-third
of funds went to Western Massachusetts nonprofits, where historical resource
shortages have created educational, professional, and economic barriers affecting
earning potential and academic achievement.
Catalyst Grants are one-time funding opportunities designed to spark organizational growth and
improvement, helping programs achieve greater impact and enhance their ability to transform lives.
