MEDFIELD FOUNDATION LEGACY FUND NOW ACCEPTING GRANT APPLICATIONS

The Medfield Foundation Legacy Fund has announced that applications are now being accepted for its 2024 Community Impact Grants. Up to $40,000 in grants will be awarded, and any Medfield-based nonprofit or Town department is eligible. Applicants are welcome to submit a grant request online at https://www.medfieldfoundation.org/ by March 25, 2024.

The Medfield Foundation Legacy Fund Community Board will review all submissions and select the finalists who will be invited to PITCH IT!, a Shark Tank-type event to be held in person in April, 2024. At PITCH IT!, applicants present their proposal, goals, and financial needs and directly engage with the Community Board on their projects. The Community Board will make its final selection of grant recipients for the 2024 funding round in May, 2024.  

This year marks the fourth round of Legacy Fund Community Impact grants. To date over $78,000 has been awarded to eleven organizations, including the Cultural Alliance of Medfield, the Friends of the MHS Theatre Society, the Friends of the Medfield Rail Trail, Medfield Cares About Prevention, Medfield Outreach, The Peak House Heritage Center, Sustainable Medfield, Hinkley Helpers, Medfield TV, Kingsbury Pond Gristmill Committee, and Zullo Gallery Center for Arts.

Grantees have used their awards to further important projects in Medfield and in some cases to leverage significant additional resources such as matching grants or federal or state funding. This year’s applicants should be prepared to illustrate a strong and compelling current need for funds, and possibly present how those funds may generate additional investments in the Medfield community as well. 

Act fast to take advantage of this spectacular opportunity!
