Grant Programs
The Foundation for MetroWest awards competitive grants annually to strengthen the capacity and programming of nonprofit organizations working to improve the quality of life for our residents.
Eligibility requirements vary based on the guidelines of the grant program. Please note: due to the ongoing challenges across MetroWest as a result of Covid-19, the Foundation has made the decision to continue focusing on our emergency relief response efforts. We encourage those looking for hunger relief or family support programs to visit our Covid-19 Grants page to determine if your request falls under emergency relief.
Please see below for more information to the guidelines for each focus area. We look forward to reviewing your requests and continuing to serve as a partner for our neighbors in need.
Town Funds
Foundation for MetroWest currently has funds that benefit the individual towns of Lexington, Medfield, Southborough, Sherborn, and Wellesley. They provide support to organizations and town agencies whose programs address health and human services, recreation, community building, environmental protection, and the arts.
Grants FAQs
Can I apply to more than one grant area?
Yes and no.
Your organization may apply for funding from only one of the following focus areas: Arts and Culture, Environment, or Family Support. Your organization may be eligible to receive additional funding from a Town Fund. Youth Development grants are by invitation only.
