The Community Foundation offers scholarships totaling over $700,000 each year – all for southeastern MA students (like our 2023 scholars, pictured at left)! With the rising costs of college, our young people often need some help to make achieving a college education attainable. Your support helps the Community Foundation to offer over 60 scholarships annually.

Economic opportunity is a key area of focus for the Community Foundation. We are offer grants through the SouthCoast Wind Fund, the Polaroid Fund and others that help to create new jobs, entrepreneurship opportunities, and new skills development for the betterment of our South Coast communities. New spaces, like the Ignition Space (pictured at left) for the arts, build our local economies.
